Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Joe Cuenco with Family Resources. Today we're going to be talking about how to improve our marriage relationship, specifically by how to learn how to become a good husband. Just how do we become a good husband, or how does a man become a good husband. Where it really starts is the conversation with your wife. Every woman has specific things that she likes or dislikes, but it really starts by finding out what your wife likes you to do, or what your wife doesn't like you to do. If you're familiar with the TV series, Everybody Loves Raymond, there was one shot in there where Debra was watching Ray vacuuming, and she told him that she had never seen him sexier than that. Well, so that was something that was really important to Debra, having Ray do household chores. It might be the fact that the husband cooks the wife a special meal, or helps out with laundry or other things in the house, but really there are specifically big things you can do and there are also little things that you can do as a husband to make your wife feel special. For example, when is the last time you bought her roses? When was the last time you can buy her other flowers, chocolates, things of that nature, rubbed her back, rubbed her feet, put gas in her car. These are little things that go a significant long way. The other important thing is, you know, sometimes we have frayed relationships with our wives families, and so it's important that, you know, a harmonious familial relationship is important to your being a good husband to your wife. Doctor John Gray who wrote Mars and Venus, actually has some good advice in this regard. He has written several books which are a real key. There are also workshops put on by Family Resources and other entities. Marital education is huge. But, the thing about it is that one to one you really need to have that communication. You need to really understand, build upon the love that you have, make her feel special, and that's how we become a good husband. I'm Joe Cuenco with Family Resources, relationships for life."
