Understanding Her Needs and The Art of Sacrifice

The Generous Husband

Over on Doing Marriage Well this week, my wife is talking about sacrificing for our spouse. Sacrifice comes in two flavours: not doing something you want to do, and doing something you don’t want to do.

My recent posts about selfishness come into play here. Sacrifice takes a certain level of maturity. It also requires understanding who our wife is, and what she likes, wants, and needs.

What does your wife like, want, or need that you’re not providing for her? Or aren’t providing in a big enough way? And a word about need. There are a number of things we need to have a healthy, growing marriage. Saying, “That’s not a need” is often a poor defence from a selfish spouse.

Is it time to man up and make some changes that will require sacrifice?
