A Good Husband
Marriage Advice From A Man
I Wish I Were A Knight
Author: Cory H.19 Dec
I’ve always wanted to be a knight.
Anciently, men who were lucky enough to be born into noble families had the responsibility to protect the “commoners” around them.
Now, the feudal system had plenty of problems of their own, but the ideals of ancient knighthood are something that I admire.
The knights who lived up to these ideals embodied strength, virtue, and nobility.
“The chivalrous knight was idealized as brave in battle, loyal to his king and God, and willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good. Towards his fellow Christians and countrymen, the knight was to be merciful, humble, and courteous. Towards noble ladies above all, the knight was to be gracious and gentle.” - Wikipedia.org
It’s too bad that the ancient orders of knighthood fell into disuse. Contemporary society supports a precious few organizations that support the higher ideals of manhood.
Where are the organizations that set the tone for how a man is supposed to behave? Who sets the tone for your conversation and manner?
What Is A Good Husband?
Author: Cory H.18 Dec
There have been many times in my married life that I have thought, “I don’t know what to do here,” or, “If I had more experience with this, I would do…” I’m just a regular guy with the desire to be a better man and husband than I am now. I recognize my shortcomings for what they are and desire to improve upon them while not being judgmental towards myself.
I hope that men of all ages and experience will contribute to the discussion here. It’s always seemed strange to me that for some men, there is a sort of “Code of Silence” surrounding what it means to be a better man. We can all only benefit from the discourse.
My first question then, is this:
What makes a good husband?
Where Do We Go?

What in the world is going on here? Men, are we really that problematic? I know that there are men out there who are guilty of these issues, but what about the rest of us? Where is a man supposed to look for advice? Ancient tribal wisdom?
Men, it’s time for us to put our collective wisdom out there. There are people out there looking for help, for people to talk to. We need to provide them with a place where they can go to find reliable advice.
We can’t escape media unless we want to hide ourselves in a bomb shelter and live on bread we grind ourselves, so what are we supposed to do? These advertisements show up in places where men are supposed to be looking for help. How are we supposed to feel and what are we supposed to think when even the places that we go to for help see us as likely to be less than upstanding husbands?
What are your thoughts?
