Who’s Involved
Ayesha Curry stars opposite Matthew Daddario in the Roku romantic comedy Second Chance Holiday. Her husband, Steph Curry, plays for the Golden State Warriors.
What Happened
After podcasters criticized a scripted kiss between Ayesha and her co-star, Steph spoke up on Instagram on November 11. He said the commentary diminished what Ayesha had accomplished in landing the lead role. By November 12, Gilbert Arenas, Nick Young and Emmanuel Acho had publicly addressed their remarks and offered apologies, some qualified.
Why It Matters to Christian Women
Imagine telling your spouse about a new opportunity and hearing everyone else’s opinion before you have had a chance to talk at home. What would you want your spouse to ask first? The Currys have spoken publicly about the criticism. Their private conversations about acting roles belong to them. For another couple, the same moment can open an honest conversation about work, conviction and how each person wants to be supported.
Three Faith-Based Takeaways
- Ask before offering a defense. “Would you like me to say something, or would you like me to listen?” gives your spouse room to choose. James 1:19.
- Make a work boundary specific. Pick one situation that could feel uncomfortable and ask what each of you would want to know beforehand. Philippians 2:4.
- Name the accomplishment. When criticism takes over a conversation, tell your spouse what you saw them work for and what made you proud. Romans 12:10.
