I think reading daily is a habit I should get into. If nothing else, I’ll start with that.

Hi @davidthebuilder and welcome to the big reality check on biblical marriage. You are in exactly the same place most men here have been in or are in. So, welcome aboard. You claim to be a Bible believing Christian. Okay, so start with...

It does break the advice to not talk about it and avoid the topic, but if your wife does get an idea into her head that you're being led astray by crazy people on the internet trying to lead you into sin, and does need some persuading that is not...
