Over on Quora, someone suggested it’s unintelligent to punish the behaviour you want. I mean, this should be obvious, but I see husband’s punishing desired behaviour all the time. Some examples: Your wife is rarely on time, and when she is, yo
I recently tossed this marriage tip out on the social media platform formerly known was Twitter: Mercy talking and mercy date nights are as good for her as mercy sex is for you. #MarriageTip If something is important to your wife, doing it unde
It’s been over two years since I ran this, so it feels due: Do you find it difficult to pray for your wife because you aren’t sure what to pray about? Try praying based on the first letter of the day: Sunday pray for...The post Pray By The Day
I recently told the ladies over on The XY Code that Men Don’t “Get” Women’s Sexual Dynamics. How could we? We don’t have female sex organs, we don’t have a female brain, and we didn’t grow up being told how women are “supposed” to...The post U
This lie is a whopper! We want to think our marriage is just about us, and it’s no one else’s business. This gives us the “right” to tell others to butt out when they try to talk to us about our marriages. However, this...The post FF: Marriage
On Tuesday, I talked about emotional self-regulation, and choosing to not self-regulate in order to manipulate your spouse. And I suspect some of you thought your wife does this when she cries. I know some women use tears to get their way, or t
I have a five-year-old grandson who has issues with emotional self-regulation. He’s past full-on meltdowns, but he still struggles to behave acceptably when he is disappointed or disciplined. This is to be expected at his age, and I have no dou
What little gift would your wife appreciate? Flowers? Chocolate? A replacement for a kitchen tool she just broke? Every woman is different, but there is certainly some token of your love that would stir her heart. Figure out what it is, and giv
Let me ask you a question: What would it take for you and your wife to have more sex? If your answer is “For my wife to say yes more often” you’re probably wrong. Aside from bad teaching she got when she was young,...The post Why She Says No t
We grow up with an image of what marriage is, but that image is not all truth. For many of us, it’s more lie than truth. Our thinking about marriage is far more shaped by the media than we realise. We all know what...The post FF: Marriage Lie:
I was recently talking to a fellow who said he and his wife will from time to time ask each other if life is hard or bad? What a great question! Or should I say, what a great way to help each other frame...The post Is Life Hard or Bad? first a
Have you and your wife planned a vacation for this year? A few days away together will do wonders for your marriage. Even a long weekend a short drive away is a good thing. Talk about it. Dream about it. Find a way to...The post Recharge Your
The image with this post is a train station in Japan. The odd thing is the only way to reach this station is by train. You can’t drive or bike to it. You can’t even hike to it! So why is it there? It’s...The post A Reminder to Stop and Appreci
Last week over on the XY Code, I explained to women that some husbands are upset their wife had a lot of sex with a lot of guys when she was single, but she rarely has sex with him now. Other men are upset...The post Is There A Monster In Your
Did you read the title and wonder what I think we’ve been lied to about? Am I going to go on a political rant? Have I gone over to the conspiracy side? Could it be global warming, rock music, fluoride in drinking water (showing...The post FF:
More thoughts on being short or snippy with your wife. The suggestion that familiarity breeds contempt seems to have been around for almost 2,000 years. Why is this so? Some suggest it’s because we’ve seen all a person’s bad qualities and have
As Lori said on her blog on Sunday, we’ve both been feeling bad about being short and snippy with each other. It’s not been horrible, and it’s mostly because we’ve been in a busy season. But these are excuses, not valid reasons. As I...The pos
Make a habit of giving your wife two to four word encouragement. Some examples: You’re wonderful. You’re beautiful. You’re brave. You’re so smart. You’re a good mother. You’re fun in bed. A note on that last one: will she take it as a complime
Seen on Quora: It frustrates me that each time I am in the middle of having sex with my wife she starts to bring up all kinds of problems about bills, the kids, the neighbor’s and kills my sexual energy, and then she complains...The post When
Bronnie Ware has spent years in “palliative care” – meaning she works with those who know they are dying. Her article Regrets of the Dying is very interesting reading, and I highly suggest you check it out. I’m encouraged by Bronnie saying man
Today is a guest post about blended families – a topic that has been requested. One of my favorite expressions is one I’ve heard from various people, but it always makes me smile. I heard it again recently from a coach who was teaching...The p
Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it. ~ Søren Kierkegaard Wow, that’s so true! Sex would be an obvious place to apply this, but it’s not the only one. We rush through a good meal. We glance at...The post
Yesterday was Mother’s Day. Let’s talk about single mothers. That wasn’t a thing when the Bible was written. Had it been, I have no doubt they would have been listed with widows and orphans as people we need to care for. It’s easy to...The pos
This is a by request post about male sex drive declining with age. All men will experience this, but to varying degrees. Many men with high drives when they are young will have a higher drive than their peers for life. But there are...The post
Is it the big things or little things in life that most determine our happiness? According to How to Dodge Buyer’s Remorse, a blog post with some good sources listed, it’s the little things. “In other words happiness comes from the small pleasu
