Doug finishes unpacking traits women admire in their husbands and shares what men most want and need from their wives.

 

Listener questions and comments:

• Peter - We should use the marital act to promote intimacy. The bible says we should. (27:26)
• Chris - My wife has mom guilt so she wants alone time but doesn’t let me leave the house with the kids. (38:34)
• Breanna - We were married in 2023 and we have started NFP but my husband still requests intimacy. How do I keep him happy while still staying true to Church teaching. (41:53)
