DIFFERENT ROLES FOR HUSBAND AND WIFE. Meanwhile, in a series of Instagram posts, Doug explained his wife's post by responding to netizens who slammed their family for being “patriarchal.”
The 34-year-old PBA player first pointed out, “We are not a perfect family.
“But we strive every single day to make our relationship work as husband and wife, and especially our roles as father and mother to our 3 beautiful blessings.”

Doug married Chesca in 2008. They have three kids named Kendra, Scarlett, and Gavin.
Doug continued, “God designed marriage (not me or my partner) for both husband and wife to have very important roles. And that doesn't mean the wife's role is lesser of the husband.”
He went on to clarify, “I never treat or make Chesca feel she is inferior to me.
“In fact, I make her feel more important than myself.
“But this doesn't take away my leadership and stand to lead my family.
“And I mean this in all aspects, I choose to lead my family financially, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
“And guess who is my partner when I fall short at times? My wife.
“She gives life to our family. She gives me motivation to be the best father and husband to my family.
“So is a wife's role just as important as a husband? Yes! But do they have the same roles? No!”
PARTNERSHIP. In his final post about the issue, Doug said that wives can also take over their husband's role if the latter fail to take care of their family.
“Now are all husbands good and faithful to their wives and finances? Unfortunately not.
“My opinion is, to the wives, if your husband doesn't know how to handle the families finances, I suggest you take over.
“But teach him too the proper way, so in the future, he may possibly lead and may make better decisions.
