On this powerful clip from "Black Out with Ian & Rashad," Ian Dunlap, Rashad Bilal, talk about a debate: Who is the most important woman in a married man's life—his wife, his mother, or his daughter?

The conversation kicks off with Max B’s candid take: If you’re married, your wife comes first. He highlights the responsibilities that shift from parent to spouse and emphasizes the importance of respecting the marital hierarchy.

Ian Dunlap pushes back, opening up about his relationship with his own parents and questioning whether wife should always take priority. The hosts break down cultural expectations, family respect, and real-life scenarios—like what happens in emergencies, or if your spouse doesn’t get along with your parents.

The discussion explores:

- Why your spouse is the only family member you choose

- The role of parents and the transfer of responsibility in marriage

- How child-parent dynamics shift after marriage

- When the needs of children or parents temporarily take precedence

- The impact of family alignment on long-term relationship success

The group doesn’t shy away from tough questions: Is it toxic to put your partner above your parents or kids? What happens when your spouse isn’t a good match with your family? And does importance always mean responsibility?

If you've ever wondered about family hierarchy or debated who should come first in your life, this clip gives you multiple perspectives rooted in experience, culture, and honest conversation.
