To me being traditional doesn't necessarily mean SAHM, but it is also an attitude. You treat the family priest with respect. The HOH/priest should be approached with respect. Many times wives will say their husbands are HOH but not follow thru with words and action.

It is hard to describe in writing what I believe but there are times in my marriage where I must tactfully ask my husband for what I need and explain my reasoning. I have coded terns I use with him to let him know my mindset.

I know you replied to another post about getting intimacy in a marriage and wanted to know when someone had the answer. Christianity is your answer.

As the priest/HOH you should tell your wife that the Bible teaches that you are to share your bodies intimately, except for mutually agreed upon times/cases. You need to tell her that touch, platonic and sexual, is a vital part of bonding. Teach her what you want and need. If she really views you as priest/HOH she will make an effort. Let her know and show her that all touching does not have to lead to intercourse. In turn, let her teach you what she needs. But someone has to get the ball rolling. Take your rightful place as HOH and start today.

I hope you and your wife grow together in Christ and have many happy years together.
