Contest: Who Deserve To Be In Front Seat- Mother In-law Or Wife?

Though there is no single answer, as it depends on cultural expectations, the specific family dynamic, and who feels most comfortable. Some believe the wife should have the front seat as the husband's partner, while others feel the mother-in-law should be offered the front seat out of respect for her age and role. But by right, I think the wife has every right to share the car's front seat with her man because they have become one, and no man should put them asunder.

According to this Bible passage—Genesis 2:24, which says, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." I believe that nobody should come in between the husband and the wife, because they have become one flesh.

Ultimately, a practical solution is to consider offering the front seat to the mother-in-law but to avoid unnecessary tension or competition, with the wife often taking the front seat if it's their car or if the mother-in-law prefers the back. But I like making reference to the Holy Bible because I am a Christian, so I am looking forward to the book of Matthew 9:19, and it says, "What God has joined together, let no man put asunder." So I believe that the husband and the wife have been joined together, so therefore no man should scatter and make decisions for them no matter what; the opinion of the husband and the wife must and has to be respected. They must be allowed to enjoy their union; nobody is expected to be a devil in their life.

Different perspectives

Wife's claim: Some argue that as the husband's partner in building a new family, the wife should have the front seat as a matter of right.

Respect for elders: In many cultures, it is considered a sign of honor and respect to offer the front seat to the mother-in-law, who is the elder and the husband's mother.

Wife's proactive gesture: Many suggest the wife should be the one to offer the seat, viewing it as a sign of respect and maturity, rather than an indication of her lower status. This can prevent potential conflict and shows that she is not competing with her mother-in-law.

But in consideration, it shouldn't bring conflict to the family. There has been an understanding between them as matured adults so as to build a godly home.

My advice to any family going through this is that they should seek ye first the kingdom of God, because if they seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, I believe that there will be an understanding between them to avoid all the unnecessary dramas that won't add any value to them.
