In an article that he wrote for The Increase, Watson, who has five children with his wife of 11 years, Kirsten, explained that he views himself as the "priest" of his home.

"I've heard my father say that the man is to be the priest, the provider, and the protector of his family. He's the priest because he is the spiritual leader, monitoring and growing the spiritual temperature of his family," Watson wrote. "He's the head of the house, responsible for providing for his family's needs: food, clothes, shelter, etc. He's the protector, protecting his family physically, emotionally, and spiritually from outside things that would be harmful or negative."

The 35-year-old Baltimore Ravens tight end revealed that his own father, who he referred to as a "great role model," taught him to look to God as an example for how to parent his children.

"In the same way that I cannot be perfect and need grace for my mistakes, I also need to give my kids grace," he said. "I am constantly learning to be patient with them, understanding that they won't do everything right all the time, while still holding them to a high standard as their Heavenly Father does."
