Women have different needs than men.

If you’re willing, I would recommend reading a book about love languages, going to counseling together, or start by just having a conversation about the relationship.

I recently picked up The Four Laws of Love and started reading it with my wife. Now, this is a Christian book written by a pastor, so there a lot of faith-based content. It might not be appropriate for you or your wife in your life now, but it made a significant impact to my marriage within days.

Sometimes problems aren’t as simple as fixing the symptoms. What’s the root cause of the distance between you and your wife? What need does she have that you aren’t fulfilling?

If you just want sex and aren’t willing to dive into the things you can do to show her that you love her, then you haven’t waited long enough for sex. Happy to help you once you get to that place. Marriage is sacred and I pray that yours isn’t discarded due to pride. The solution could be way simpler than you think.

For me? I started writing small love notes each day and leaving them in random places for my wife to find. It showed intention with our relationship and also was a reminder of the truth, that I love her and cherish her.

We also devoted time to go on dates each week. Alone time to connect away from the kids. It was impactful.

I don't understand the theological premises of these books.

ETA: In fact this ones sounds worse than many of the others based on this review on Amazon.

quote:

I've been searching for a book to finally bring marriage out of the stone ages and into the light of modern interpretation. Concepts such as a wife obeying her husband are highly misogynistic, and it's time that a Christian leader stood up against these out-moded teachings. I have long rejected Pauline authority on the teachings of Ephesians Chapter 5. The reality is that, regardless of what was written by the patriarchal hetero-oppressors in the ancient past, marriage is a partnership and both parties have equality. Period. Comparing the marriage relationship to Christ and the Church was always a massive mistake and honestly speaking, this portion of the Bible is an attack on women and it should just be deleted. I salute Pastor Evans for finally calling out these lies for what they are.
