Here are seven reasons a husband should regularly read the Doctor Marriage blog to his wife:
- A wife wants to be pursued. When a husband seeks out his wife and asks her to listen to him, read a blog, she feels pursued and valued.
- Talking is the pathway to a strong relationship connection. To a wife, talking means connecting. If you want to talk to her, you understand one of her basic needs.
- Women deepen their relationships through dialogue. Especially when they talk about personal and emotional topics. It delights her soul when her husband wants to join her there.
- Usually, a wife brings up a topic. Or, starts the conversation. Or, announces we need to talk about this or that. But, it touches her deeply when her husband brings a topic about emotional or spiritual growth.
- Most women have had few deep emotional dialogues with men. By reading the blog, a husband is bringing thoughts, ideas, and insights. And, he is asking her to join him in exploring the topic. To her, that is awesome!
- Lots of conversations only require a yes or no answer. When you read the blog to her and introduce a new, fresh, thought, that is very different. Your wife gets to make a comment and you get a response. Her spirit resonates with the equality, respect, and rhythm of this back and forth exchange.
- As men we are called to be leaders. Emotions and self awareness are not our strengths. Still, God calls us to lead. Most men have no training in relationship leadership. Reading a Doctor Marriage blog is one way to demonstrate leadership.
