Make a love binder for your husband in case he does drop dead!! Put important info details acct # phone. Any agent numbers. Schedule of when to pay and how frequently. Show him where it is. Keep it updated I even have the kids school info. Doctor dentist. Emergency plan…birth certificates pass ports the whole bit. Locked up and. Nice and safe. I also made a copy for our trustee if anything should happen to both of us. My mom lost first husband at 28 I always prepare for death and worst case scenario because we have lived it. Even for monthly bills I have a to do folder (this is from Kathi’s organizing tips I believe) and it’s a brightly colored folder easy to find. Always in the same spot. Along with Archive and Do Later folder. It’s made my husband feel important and secure that he could figure it out. I try and talk with him about it every 6 months or so just he knows it’s there and what is in it.

As a guy, I would agree with most of these, but when the friction of life is causing friction in the marriage, there are some things that might not work.

Top of that list is sex. If your heart isn’t in it…don’t. Men can pick up on that, and while they can still perform, it can cause more relationship trouble down the road, because it takes the act from mutuality to a ‘treat’.

Likewise bragging him up in any way. be very, very sure it’s sincere, and best understated.

I pray for him. But the rest, on already over-scheduled, mostly fr doing things he won’t do. Won’t help him any if I drop dead from a heart attack cause he has no clue how to pay bills or take. Are of himself.
