Christmas has passed, so we will now be swamped with “Year in Review” stories. Why don’t you do a year in review with your wife? Take some time to discuss both the good and the bad of 2024. Discuss how you can repeat the good, and avoid repeating the bad. If there is bad you […]

Last Tuesday, we lost power just after 8 PM. We got power back 33 hours later. We live up a mountain, and there are a lot of trees near the power wires, so storms and wet snow can be a problem. There are only a few dozen homes here, so we’re a low priority. It’s […]

This tree has been the view from the window by my computer for a couple of weeks. I built it on a twelve-foot pole we will be moving our Starlink to in the spring. I said I did it for the grandkids. But I also did it for me. And most of the adults on […]

Okay, guys, Christmas is less than 48 hours away. So here’s my husband game plan: Be insanely helpful Be wildly compassionate and full of grace. Rub her shoulders, get her drinks, and pamper her in any way you can. Don’t expect, ask for, or hint about sex. If she offers, accept and tell her how […]

I want to talk about arousal vs lust. They’re not the same thing, and only one is sinful. Let’s say you’re walking along a forest path. You round a corner, and see a coral snake on the path. A part of your brain that does not reason causes a release of adrenaline, readying you to […]

Would you like to give your wife a gift she really wants? A gift she will cherish for years to come? How about making a permanent change you know she wants? It might be no longer doing or saying something she dislikes. Or it could be starting to do something she has indicated she’d like […]

Who did God make you to be? I find myself asking this question all the time. I ask it here, in sermons, and during coaching. I ask Lori, and I ask myself. I think “Who am I?” is probably the most important question in life, and for those who follow Jesus, God has the only […]

The best gifts are things that can’t be delivered in a nicely wrapped box. This is where gift certificates come in. That link goes to certificates over on the TMB site that you can personalise and print. If you know she would like more date nights, give her coupons for that. Specify you need a […]

I talk a lot about serving others. Today I want to share about some folks who are doing that in very real, practical ways. The names have been changed. Mary, an elderly woman, can no longer drive. For several years, Joe has picked her up at her home, driven her to church, and helped her […]

Last Friday, I talked to the ladies about sexual bait and switch from before the wedding to after. The classic is the woman who gives blowjobs before marriage, but not after. My suggestion was women do this because sex has become the price of admission for follow-up dates and getting married. The post generated some […]

We did a little poll on Facebook asking wives if they wanted lingerie for Christmas. Just under half said yes, some was nice, while only 8% said the more, the better. A full quarter said it was okay, but they saw it as a gift for him, not for them. Seventeen percent would rather have […]

I’d like to introduce you to the concept of situationally reasonable. Imagine you and your wife are lost in the wilderness, and dangerously hungry. In that situation, it’s reasonable to give her grubs to eat. The same offer in the backyard at home is not reasonable. Understanding the situation is an important part of knowing […]

I have a friend who was born in the US after his Christian parents fled a Muslim country. Yesterday at church, he thanked me for the work I do with marriages. He told me that a happy Christian couple is a strong witness to Muslims. While the effect would not be as great for other […]

Do you presume on your wife during the holiday season? You presume she will get gifts for the kids? You presume she will wrap gifts you buy? How often do you presume on her time? What about presuming on her good will? Make a point of asking if she can do what you want her […]

I read a study that was intended to discover why some couples have more sex than others. But none of what the researchers expected to make a difference did! That included how in love and romantic couples felt. Apparently, it’s complicated. The suggestion of the authors was that it’s a complex interaction of two people. […]

First, a confession, I have no idea what four words you should never say to or in front of your wife. What’s more, the list is probably larger than four. However, I can help you narrow down the list by giving you four common problems areas. Painful family words: Never use words her family used […]

Why do we feel the need to be right so strongly that we’re willing to make a mess of our marriage to prove ourselves? I ask this as a guy who has made the wrong choice on this many, many times. I’m getting better, but even after forty years it’s still a fight at times. […]

Today is #GivingTuesday, an event following Black Friday and Cyber Monday that is all about radical generosity. Lori and I usually kick off our year-end giving campaign on GivingTuesday, and I’ll nag you about that at the bottom. But I want to talk about the concept of giving in general. There’s a lot of need […]

Most marriages I know could use more hugs. And some desperately need more hugs! What’s more, most marriages I know would benefit from less criticism. And some won’t survive without less criticism. So why not commit to more hugging, and less criticising? Image Credit: © Paul H Byerly created with stockdreams.aiShop Amazon ♦ Shop to […]

Offer your wife a massage with a built-in happy ending. Have her strip down to a close-fitting pair of panties. Get her to lie on her front, then give her a small vibe to slip into her panties. You then massage her feet, legs, back and neck until she either comes, or rolls over and […]
