In this first entry I will take the time to tell you a bit about myself and how this blog came to be. I am what I consider an average early middle aged man who enjoys very much being married to my wife of four years now and father to our beautiful son Edward. My chosen blogging subject of being the better husband has two distinct meanings. The first and most obvious is better than other husbands. But the second more meaningful definition is better than you thought you could be, or better than you are now.
I enjoy reading over other people’s blogs and suppose in some way it was inevitable that I would write my own. I find the raw emotion and personal honesty in many blogs is something missing from most other information outlets. This blog has been a long time in the making. As a guy I have a lot to lose from writing such a blog. I run the risk of alienating the other men that I hope my blog might help. I also run the very real risk that my wife will read this and wonder if I’m thinking things out when I mess up too.
But risks aside I think this blog will be well worth any effort on my part. I can only hope that instead of feeling alienated by what they find here any guys reading this will try to use what I write about to improve their relationship with their wife. And I can only hope that when my wife inevitably finds this blog she will know it was my love for her that started it all.
And so we start now with an open slate and the understanding that my intentions are as pure as I can honestly make them. On one last note I want everyone to know that I love my wife Mary-Anne with all my being, and Yes; I would do it all over again. I would not even change my mistakes. Because it is learning from my mistakes that has made me better able to love you the way you deserve. I love you.
Please consider this an open forum. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions feel free to leave your feedback. I look forward to reading your comments and will use them to make this blog better.
