The ways to be a good husband follows a very
fundamental formula: Loving, Serving,
Communicating, and Dating. These four
fundamental principles outline the areas of being a husband where when
improvement is made, will have the greatest positive impact on your wife and marriage. It is important to note that these are the same four principles would be my advice to any prospective husband as well as any husband who just wants to be better. These principles build a solid foundation to being a great husband!
Love -
Love -
Remember that love is a choice that we make every day. Love your wife first and your children a close second. Be faithful and commit 100% to her.
Serve -
The best way to show your love for your wife is to serve her. Put her needs above yours (and hopefully she'll do the same). Take care of her and your family physically and spiritually. Serve her and make sure she feels safe with you and in your home.
Communicate -
One of my favorite relationship books is The 5 Love Languages. If you haven't read it, do it now. It will help you communicate with your wife. Find her love language and actively use it to "communicate" your love for her. There are many, many ways to say "I love you!"
Date -
There are so many reasons to date your wife. Quality time with your wife (while getting a break from the kids) will do so much for your relationship. There are also endless ways to date your wife. Lucky for your, I have created a Date Your Wife Archive of date ideas!
