The Generous Husband An announcement list of “generous” tips

Generosity seems to be in limited supply these days, even in our marriages. This list is about learning how to “go the extra mile” for our wife, rather than doing only what we think is “required”. Each day you will receive one tip or suggestion for being a more generous husband. Because generosity only really counts when it involves giving what someone really wants, the list will tend to focus on emotional and relational aspects of marriage. Many of the tips will be designed to communicate love in one of the 5 love languages discussed by Gary Chapman in his book The Five Love Languages. This excellent book could well benefit your marriage more than any other book you will ever read, and I strongly recommend it to all couples. Sunday’s tip will be of a spiritual nature, praying for/with your wife.

Monday – Friday’s tips will be one each for the five love languages.
Saturday’s tip will be of a sexual nature.
Sunday’s tip will be of a spiritual nature, praying for/with your wife.

Please join me in becoming a Generous Husband. <>< Paul

Hi, on your main page, “constraint” is misspelled as “contraint” in the title that says Is your marriage a problem or a contraint. Thanks

Sorry. There was a major glitch in my earlier comment. Let me restate it.

Could you write a blog offering advice on how to deal with a wife who does not seem to care about her appearance? I have grown numb to my wife’s sexual indifference, but it would be nice if she could make an effort to look nice when we go out in public. I’m talking about wearing the same ratty jeans and threadbare sweater she’s had on all day long when we go to a Christmas party. If I mention it, she’ll tell me how tired she is and how much extra trouble it is to change. It all just shouts to me that she takes me for granted and considers it completely unnecessary to continue to attract me. I’ve heard husbands complain that their wives have become too “comfortable” in the marriage. Comfortable? She’s practically comatose.

I am looking for some advice that you might be able to help me with. I have a friend that he and his wife every year go to nudiest resorts. We used to be good friends with this couple I was even in a bible study called Every Mans Battle and I thought that might have changed his thinkning but it didn’t. I have already confronted him about it in the past and I thought he would have changed but this is not the case. I have read Mathew 18 :15 over and over and I feel I need to confront him again. Do you know of any verses that I can show him that will help me confront him. I don;t understand how he thinks it is ok and that it is nothing sexual about it. How can you justify this? Seeing a naked women and not being sexually stimulated.

Thanks
