A Good Husband Answers Your Questions

Here are my answers to your questions! It’s been a lot of fun. I was actually a little surprised at how many questions I got about my wife. You might be interested in reading a couple of her guest posts here on A Good Husband, as well as taking a look at her blog, The Fascinating Woman.


Mark Roberts said… Alright, I got one, or rather 2-in-1. How did you propose to your wife? Did you know for sure if she would say ‘yes’ when you asked her?

Which time? I had to ask her a few times. She says I asked her six times, I say it was more like three. I wasn’t entirely sure if she would say yes, but I was pretty sure I could talk her into it. After all, I am a professional salesman.

persistentillusion said… Is your wife happy?

Trust you to come up with this question. One would hope so, since that’s what I write about, eh? I asked her if she was happy, and she said, “Of course! You’re the most wonderful man in the universe! How could I possibly be unhappy?”

Then I woke up and hit the snooze bar.

I think that being married for six years speaks for itself. Not that it’s any sort of astounding record, but we both agree that we ‘got to admit it’s getting better, it’s getting better all the time.’

Laurie said…How is the Mormon church different than other Christian churches? Why is the Mormon church secretive about what they believe? Are they? My passion in life is to “stretch my heart” to love God and my husband more than I am capable of now. I believe there is so much more we are able to experience concerning intimacy and love with our relationship with God and each other than we realize. What do you think about that idea? How would you go about doing that?

Well, Laurie, that’s a lot of questions, but I’ll be brief.

The Mormon Church (properly the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) is different from other Christian denominations primarily in that we believe that God still speaks to people through prophets, just like he did in the Bible. I don’t know what you mean about being secretive. Our beliefs are widely documented and easily accessed.

I think that a person can come to a closer relationship to God by learning to pray and have honest discussions with Him, and by learning to listen. With that, learning to serve others selflessly teaches Godlike attributes. As we do this, we find that we become closer to our spouses.

JLow said… I’ve got a 3-in-1 Does your wife read this blog? If so, does she always agree with what you say? If she doesn’t agree, what happens?

I don’t know that she always agrees, but when she knows that I’m not practicing what I preach she makes sure I know it. It’s a really good sounding board for me. Even though I’ve learned a lot about marriage, I know that I can always do better, so when Lissie is unhappy, I have to go back to my store of knowledge and make sure I make it good again.

John_Frum said… Kids are great and we love our children but they bring a lot of changes to a marriage. A couple becomes a family. I’m guessing you don’t have kids or you would have mentioned it in the About Me section but do you have any thoughts about the challenge of that transition? Are children in your plans?

We don’t have any kids now. We would love to have kids, and when the Lord chooses to bless us with little ones, we will be happy to receive them into our home. I know it will be a challenge. When we married, I was terrified of small children, but my wonderfully patient and kind wife has helped coax me along until now I truly look forward to raising little ones.

Believe me, when we have kids, this blog will probably explode with the amount of energy that’s going to come out of it. Then I’d truly be able to say I have joined the ranks of the Daddy Bloggers.
