Steve Harvey Has Advice For:
- Annette in Knoxville – I kept my great grandson during the week and I was given strict rules from his mother, who reads a lot on raising children. I raised 7 kids so I was offended and I did what I wanted to do. When he got home, he asked if he could watch the cartoons. Now she’s mad at me. What’s wrong with the cartoons?
- Hope in Minneapolis – My husband’s sister is staying with us and she met a man at work. I used to date the man and my husband told her that the guy was off limits. I found out and I told her I don’t care. Why did my husband speak for me and not even tell me?
- James in Tampa – I got reacquainted with a woman from my past and she’s successful now and got it going on. I have been in the same job for 22 years and I’m about to retire. We have different lifestyles. Should we talk about finances early on? Can this work?
- Charlene in Dallas – My husband recently started calling me “bae” and I hate it. It’s a common name that can apply to everyone and it makes me think he has another woman and doesn’t want to get our names mixed up. Why is he calling me “bae” all of a sudden?

you can do is provide for it. That's the least,
and that's your job as men. And we gotta we

Our job as men is to be a provider. And
you know, with you all this new stuff, I want
a partner. Well that ain't hot his work, man, You
get a partner. But you got to understand what a
real wife is. That's what God took through too, made
Eve from the rib of the man, not from his
(05:46):
head because she ain't supposed to be over, but not
from his feet because he ain't.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Supposed to be over her, walk on her.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
The rib is designed to protect your organs, all your
vital organs. Your wife sees stuff you don't see, y'all.
She covered you in ways you can't be covered. That's
what she for. That's why you got to provide and
protect her.
Speaker 3 (06:08):

want to call y'all the same name. If you don't
want him to call you babe, just tell him you
don't like it. Hey, listen, don't don't don't call me
