- confidence in family, ministry, and work;
- closeness to and communication with you;
- contentment with life and his marriage;
- commitment to sexual purity.

Thanks. I think we (wives) need to be thinking carefully about this topic but in practice, often don't talk about it.

On a slightly different track, but a really interesting way to think about it, http://makinghome.blogspot.com/2008/05/husband-on-wife-imposed-rice-diet.html .

Thanks, Bec, I wanted to put that last link in but didn't have time to find it!! Great post.
Don't you just love genderalisations.
Tee hee. :)
Hi there. Sounds a bit like the Carolyn Mahaney book, Feminine Appeal that I am reading. Her chapter on purity encourages women to "make love to your husband!" Have you read it?

I've read parts of it, still planning to read the rest! Haven't got to that chapter, though. They're reading it next month at Equip book club if you're interested. So I guess I'd better finish it!
