One Question To A Better Marriage

There is one question I try to ask myself every single day that has had an incredible impact in every aspect of my marriage. It's a very simple yet powerful tool that enhances love and intimacy every time it is used. This one question can change your marriage. The question is:

How have I shown my wife that I love her today?

The how forces us to see if we've done something identifiable, the shown makes us ask ourselves if we've done something our wives have actually been able to see, and today gives us a time limit in which to do it. This question helps us remember to remember to love our wives. Asking this question has gotten me off my butt and into the kitchen to wash dishes many times, and her sweet "Thank you" has always made it worth it. I want her to see how much I love her, and that will only happen when I am consciously thinking about how to do it.

Start asking yourself this question today. Print it out and tape it the top of your monitor, set an alarm in your phone, or tattoo it backwards on your forehead. Let this be the start of phone calls and text messages of sweet nothings throughout your day. Let this be an offer to fold the laundry, bathe the kids, or vacuum the living room. And, if all of your creativity fails, simply go to your wife and ask, "How can I show you how much I love you today?"

(And make sure to come back and share your success stories with all of us.)

This Is A Blog For Husbands

The truth is we just forget sometimes, and sadly "sometimes" can turn into "all the time." And before we know it the romance is gone and happiness is on its way out too. We want to be better, but we've lost the motivation or we just don't know what to do or we forgot how or something came up or -- or it's just something we can't quite put our finger on.

Men are, by nature, forgetful creatures. We get settled into our routines and often forget that there is anything else going on in the world. As husbands we can forget that the "anything else" is often "someone else" and we end up hurting the feelings of the one we love most. Our marriage goes stale and we're not even quite sure what happened.

I love my wife more than anything else in this world, and I want her to know that. Sometimes I just need a little help; I need friendly reminders and new ideas to keep things fresh and alive. So I thought about a place where husbands could help each other out, a place where advice could be exchanged, challenges could be made, and romantic ideas could be shared.

Welcome to iamhusband.com. I look forward to getting to know you.

About This Site

How do I make my wife happy?

It's a question all of us wonder about from time to time, if not all the time. Too often we forget how to show our wives that we love them, and I hope this site will be able to be a helpful reminder in ways to do that. I hope to frequently update with thoughts, date ideas, and ways we can tell her we love her with and without those three little words. Each post will be fairly short; just a little inspiration to get you going is the idea.

I am also just one husband, and what I write will be from my own experiences and observations. That's why I'm hoping that there are others out there who have great ideas or advice to share with the rest of us. I hope this can be somewhat of a sounding board of positivity and encouragement as we all seek advice and ideas to keep our marriages alive. There's already enough negativity out there about marriage and the relationship between husbands and wives.

It's time for a change.

Sincerely,
A Husband
