12 things a husband should do for his wife

My wife Ashley once asked me why most guys seem to like sports so much.

Sports have clear rules and everyone knows exactly what it requires to win. Some guys struggle with marriage, and it’s not because they don’t love their wife; it’s because in marriage, the “rules” aren’t as clearly defined, so he struggles to know what “winning” at marriage really looks like. 

To help my fellow husbands out here, I want to take what I’ve learned through years of relationship research and give it to you.
