The REAL Husband - a Definition for Us All

What is a Happy Husband anyway?  As I thought about what to say in this first post, the emotion that kept sticking with me is .. 'easy'.  That may or may not be an emotion, by the way, but I think if you are reading this - you get the point.  Us men, are, for the lack of better wording - easy.  We love easy.

That's not to say we don't like challenges or TO challenge ourselves.  Quite the opposite.  What makes us easy is that we are solution-focused.  Wouldn't you agree?  'How', 'what', 'where' and 'who' are the words we use to begin our questions in any situation ... quite the opposite of our beautiful wives who love the word 'why'.  But back to the first question I posed in this blog.
What is a Happy Husband?

The dictionary defines a husband as:  a married man considered in relation to his spouse. Or, one site says:  a male partner in a marriage.  'Happy' is defined as this:  feeling or showing pleasure or contentment.  Putting those definitions together yields this - a male partner in a marriage who shows pleasure or contentment.  Wow!  Does that define how you feel?  Or felt at one point?  If you do(did) at any point in your marriage, what does that mean to you? Time to dig deep fellas.  It's time to find out how to get that feeling of happiness on a consistent basis.  Time for our wives to see us in a way where 'being happy' is our norm.  Yes we have to do all those things in the graphic I posted to begin this article and sometimes more, but our happiness as men in our marriages is just as important as our wives'.

It's time for us to speak up and candidly about how to do that.  That's what this blog is about.  Welcome to the Happy Husband's Blog.
