The Generous Husband Daily Rant

I recently learned that fifty to sixty percent of men who get a prescription for Viagra or other ED medications stop taking the drugs within a couple of years. As we know that seventy-five percent will get a good erection from such drugs, that... The post Good Sex Takes More Than An Erection appeared first on The Generous Husband.

How hubby drives is a common issue in marriages, but I’m not sure that I’ve ever mentioned it. This comes to mind because of what I saw driving home from the store with my Lori this evening. We go to the “big city” twice... The post Friday Flashback: Is Your Driving Driving Her Crazy? appeared first on The Generous Husband.

If you can’t see it, the image with this post says, “We take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.” I came across the image recently while searching for something else, and I flagged it for future use because I think...

We all have different abilities to sense things, and different tolerance levels. So your wife might be offended by things you can’t smell, because most women have a stronger sense of smell than most men. Or perhaps the dripping faucet you can ignore drives...

Love letters are great, but it’s not like you can or should do them all the time. But little notes of love you can do daily, if you choose. Post-it notes are great for this, and the heart shaped one are especially good. Write... The post Little Love Notes appeared first on The Generous Husband.

Yesterday over on The XY Code I said that if you believe in Intelligent Design, the clitoris is proof that God wanted women to enjoy sex. When I read science based information on human sexuality, it’s common to see the conclusions shaped by the... The post Sex, Intelligent Design, and Evolution appeared first on The Generous Husband.

Recently, I suggested our wives deserve grace from us. I received several comments saying that, by definition, grace is never deserved. I agree none of us deserves the unmerited grace of God. Note, I modified the word grace there with the word unmerited. When... The post Flashback Friday: Let’s Talk About Deserving appeared first on The Generous Husband.

I realise we all give a knee-jerk “of course” answer to this question. But if we actually think about it, a man who acted like Jesus in our circle of friends might not be seen as very manly. And if we’re honest, most the... The post Was Jesus A Man’s Man? appeared first on The Generous Husband.

I don’t talk a lot about my faith here. I think it’s evident in what I say, and I’m a big fan of showing rather than telling. But sometimes it’s good to tell. When I say Jesus is my salvation, I don’t just mean... The post Jesus, My Salvation appeared first on The Generous Husband.

On the way home from work, stop at a grocery store with an in-store bakery and buy one or two of their fresh made decedent desserts. Most of the great one’s will be in the refrigerator case.

Yesterday over on The XY Code I told the women about a study that found that men see visible nipple erection through clothing as a sign of increased sexuality, and they make assumptions about such a woman’s behaviour and interests. They also make decisions... The post Nipples And Judgement – We Can Do Better! appeared first on The Generous Husband.

Repeat after me: “I am sometimes difficult. I am sometimes rude, sometimes short-tempered, sometimes impatient, and sometimes grumpy. And sometimes the words coming out of my mouth are absolutely unintelligible to anyone not living inside my head.” If that’s not all true of you,...

Why we do what we do matters a great deal for a number of reasons. One of those reasons is that knowing why we do something makes it far more likely we can change our behaviour. Some of the reasons we do what we... The post Why You Must Know Why appeared first on The Generous Husband.

When we lived in Austin, any temperature under 50° F (10° C ) required a jacket, and at freezing you needed a coat. Now that we live less than 100 miles (161 km) from Canada, I don’t bother with anything if it’s at least... The post Is Acclimation Hurting Your Marriage? appeared first on The Generous Husband.

Remember when your kid’s minor injuries could be fixed by “kissing it better”? And disappointment and fear could be fixed with a hug. The power behind those things was you letting the child know you loved and cared for them. This power works for... The post Hug It Better appeared first on The Generous Husband.

I ran across a study that found being sexually aroused increased both men and women’s belief that women say no to sex when they mean yes. This should not be an issue in most marriages, but it shows us something that can cause problems...

I had an email from one of you asking about using the “F-word” in marriage as a way to describe a sex act. The writer also mentioned most of the common euphemisms for sex lack passion. It’s a great question, and I want to... The post Friday Flashback: The Words We Use For Sex appeared first on The Generous Husband.

I’ve been playing with an AI art generator, thinking it could provide me with some post images. So far, it’s not been much help.

On Friday’s I run a post from the past. I am currently working from April of 2012. Back then, my life was a lot busier. I was working a forty hour a week job, we were not yet taking a Sabbath rest every week,... The post Marriage: Are You Mailing It In? appeared first on The Generous Husband.

Try asking your wife if she would like to do various things you think or know she enjoys doing. You could ask, “Would you like to take a walk?” or, “Would you like a shoulder rub?” or, “Would you like to go for coffee?”... The post Extend Invitations appeared first on The Generous Husband.
