Podcast Show Notes 

This is one of the most encouraging podcasts we have been privileged to bring forward.  Our guest is very funny as he brings forward tremendous wisdom and truth about our marriage relationship.  You will laugh, poke fun at yourself, and be motivated to be the husband your wife needs.  I recommend his book on this topic and any of his books full of bite-size wisdom.  

About our guest:  

After a decade of writing advertising for airlines and beer, Jay Payleitner followed God’s clear call to serve as a freelance producer for thousands of radio broadcasts for Chuck Colson, Josh McDowell, Fathers.com, Heritage Foundation, and Voice of the Martyrs. Those relationships led to Jay becoming a national speaker and best-selling author of 30+ books including the bestselling 52 Things Kids Need from a Dad, Hooray for Grandparents!, What If God Wrote Your Bucket List? and 52 Things Wives Need from Their Husbands. Jay’s books have been translated into ten languages and sold more than 3/4 million copies. He has been a guest multiple times on The Harvest Show, Chris Fabry Live, and Focus on the Family. Jay and his wife, Rita, live near Chicago, where they raised great five kids, loved on ten foster babies, and are cherishing grandparenthood. 

Here are a few of the points we discuss in this episode: 

1. No one knows your wife better than you.  You know before you say something how she is going to react.  
2. You know what your wife likes.  If you give your wife what she likes, it gives me joy as well.  
3. Nagging Prevention:  Ask your wife if this is okay.  This applies to many situations. 
4. Plan for your entry into the house.  Give some updates on your day – ask if there is anything you need me to do.  
5. Pray you hit bottom – when you do your marriage has the opportunity to become more than it ever would be otherwise.  
6. I think we need to kiss more and kiss better.   Without sex in your mind.  

Men, we want to do well with our wives.   Knowing what they want, and diligently working to meet their needs at the same time has a magical way of meeting our own needs.    

Today – we pray for your marriage and for the generations who follow you well thanks to you men who make it a mission to understand what your wife wants and working to do just that.
