My wife Ashley once asked me why most guys seem to like sports so much. I thought about it for a minute and told her that it’s a combination of reasons, but one of the reasons is simply that sports make sense. 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. If you’ll do these 12 things, you will “win” in your marriage (and, of course, your wife will win too). Read this list to your wife (or, if you’re a wife reading this, share this list with your husband). It could start some great conversations in your marriage and lead to some positive changes that can help you thrive as a couple.
