What men don't tell their wives - David Morrow

I have to admit,  a number of these resonate with me.

• • Women train their husbands to conceal the truth from them.
  • We are so frustrated when we tell you the truth and you freak out.
  • Men compare wives. The man with the best looking wife wins.
  • People say that men have all the power in society, but it doesn’t feel that way to most men.
  • Most men are afraid to admit weaknesses – especially to their wives.
  • A voice in our head tells us to have sex with every attractive woman of childbearing age.
  • Today’s level of temptation and sexual stimulation is completely unprecedented in human history.
  • Men check out women all the time. At work. At school. In public. And yes, even at church.
  • Every man keeps a sexual scrapbook filled with images and memories. Most men would love to be rid of this book. Women do not have a scrapbook.
  • Men are at their core providers and protectors. The key to our happiness is when we’re healthy in these two roles.
  • The person a man protects most his himself. Just about every dysfunction common to men springs from self-protection.
  • Masculine ways of child rearing are “out” while feminine ones are “in”
  • At work I’m a genius. At home I’m a dunce.
  • Wives who consistently refuse sex to their husbands (or who use sex as a reward for good behavior) are asking for trouble.
  • Men who share their feelings with friends or at work are ridiculed.
  • Men are tired of being seen as 100% of the problem in their marriages.
  • Many Christian men feel their wives are better at “doing church” than they are.
  • A lot of women control their husbands with their anger.
  • When I ask men where they experience God’s presence most fully, they rarely say “in church.” Instead, they almost always mention an outdoor location.
  • Women are born improvers. They treat their husbands like computer software: a product you buy once and then continuously upgrade.
  • A woman who dresses shabbily around her husband is sending him a deadly message: If you want to see a beautiful woman, look elsewhere.
  • Women, the key to his sexual enjoyment is your enjoyment. In other words, if you are enjoying sex, he’s enjoying sex. It’s all about pleasing you.
  • Don’t make your husband guess about what pleases you. Tell him.
  • Less than one-quarter of men feel actively appreciated at home.
  • Women expect their husbands to read their minds.
  • Sometimes women fall in love with their church, and husbands become jealous.
  • A lot of women manage the relationships in the household, to the point where no one has a relationship with anyone else. It all goes through mom.
