The other day, I closed my XY Code post by saying I wish on-line Christian marriage coaching had been a thing when Lori and I were newly married. I thought it might be useful for me to ruminate here how that might have gone for us. I used to say that when we got married, […]

From time to time, I see or work with a man on the verge of his wife filing for divorce, who responds by becoming hyper-spiritual. He proclaims that her actions and choices are due to either his wife falling away from the Lord, or demonic activity, or both. In some cases, this is just an […]

When did you last thank your wife for doing something that’s “her job”? It’s easy to stop being aware of things she does if she does them well. Out of sight, out of mind, as they say. Take a moment to think about the things she does so reliably you’ve stopped thinking about them. Then […]

A few days ago, I suggested you get help for your marriage if you need it. Today, I want to give you the same advice for your sex life. When we were newly married, Lori and I could have used some help in this area. But we couldn’t find anyone with a Christian world view […]

Sex is not just for men. God intended women to enjoy it too. How can I say that? Because His design leaves no other rational conclusion. While female orgasm is not necessary for conception, the clitoris has no purpose other than pleasure. Additionally, women can have multiple orgasms, their orgasms tend to last longer than the male […]

I want to encourage you to get help for your marriage if you need it. And sooner is better than later! Most couples who seek help from counsellors, therapists, or coaches wait far too long. When getting help is seen as a last ditch, desperate measure, the problems pile up and dealing with them becomes […]

You can’t talk life goals around people who don’t have the same hunger as you, it’ll just sound like you are bragging. ~ Aubrey Drake Someone posted that on Quora, and I thought, yes, exactly. I’ve run into this more than once when Lori and I were discussing our relationship or the growth we wanted […]

We usually sit up front at church. But yesterday we arrived just before the service started, and the front was full, so we ended up close to the back. I was looking at the folks in front of me during the sermon, and I noticed a number of married couples sitting close, or one with […]

Yesterday I told the women on The XY Code that if women understood what sex means to their husband, and how not having it often enough effects him, she would say no far less often. I said if she was not up to full sex, she would be quick to offer something else, and would […]

A full 20% of my posts carry the I_choose tag. Clearly, I see this as a big deal. Choosing is powerful, and wise use of choice can make your life much better. Some thoughts on choice: We usually have more choices than we think. For a variety of reasons, we tend to get tunnel vision, […]

Yesterday I said a lot of bad marriage behaviour is a result of folks seeking attention and/or respect from their spouse. Then I told you to give your wife more attention and respect, as if you’re the only one guilty in this. I have no doubt most of you need more attention and respect from […]

When I sit back and watch people, what I see is a lot of folks dying for attention and respect. And I see some doing crazy things to get those things. If you have kids, you’ve seen them do this since before they could talk. Adults are a bit more subtle, but if you look […]

I’ve been asked if I do in my marriage everything I suggest here. I do not. And I do not, for the same reason you shouldn’t do everything I suggest: our wives are unique individuals. My wife is uber-practical. So when I got her a vacuum cleaner for Christmas one year, she was thrilled. But […]

I’ve been aware of a growing trend of sexless marriages in Asian countries for several decades. In the early nineties, a Japanese psychiatrist introduced the term “sexless couple”. He defined that as a couple with no circumstances preventing sex who go without sex by mutual agreement. Today, it’s estimated 45% of Japanese couples are sexless. […]

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 […]
