Having felt like Barbaratoo sometime earlier in my marriage, I came to realize that unrealistic expectations are the main cause of discontent and strife. I thought because my hubby was good with tools, he’d enjoy building a house like my Dad. Turns out he’d much rather work on building a computer or rebuilding a vehicle. When a man only gets complaints or a cold shoulder from his wife, he reduces his desire to be around her and carry his share of the load. Read Shaunti Feldhahn’s book “For Women Only” and you’ll be a better wife. (Her husband Jeff has one for men.)
