Farewell to The Generous Husband
Manage episode 468847460 series 3538667
On Sunday July 15, 2001, I did the first post for The Generous Husband. Today, some 8,000 posts later, I write this last one. It’s certainly bitter-sweet, but I’m not giving up blogging, so it’s okay. (If you want to follow the new blog it’s https://doingmarriagewell.com – and I start Saturday.) Doing this blog has been a big part of my life for a very long time. I’ve enjoyed getting to know many of you online, and some of you in person. It’s been a blast, and a blessing. My thanks to all of you.

I’ve thought a lot about what I want to leave you with. I’m rerunning the first post about prayer at the bottom, because every marriage needs prayer! Beyond that, I want to talk about getting help.
Lori and I have worked with a great many marriages over the years. We now coach online, if you want to connect with us. We’ve had plenty of couples tell us that third party help has improved or saved their marriage. We’ve also had couples say it made their sex lives better. You have to be willing to do the work, but if you are, a bit of skilled guidance can make a huge difference.
When I was young, Christians didn’t go for help. It was as if seeking help was admitting to a horrible sin. Couples suffered in silence, and marriages died in silence. God is clear that we’re supposed to seek wise counsel, and we’re commanded to help others in the body of Christ.
If you need help, please get it. If you don’t need it, but would benefit from it, please get help.
Do you find it difficult to pray for your wife because you aren’t sure what to pray about? Try praying based on the first letter of the day:
Sunday pray for her Spiritual walk
Monday pray for her Moods and Mental health
Tuesday pray for her Thought life
Wednesday pray for her Weaknesses to be healed
Thursday pray for her Time usage
Friday pray for her Friendships
Saturday pray for her Sexuality
