Summary

If asked, "Is your wife your priority?" What guy wouldn't answer, "Yes!"? But, is that how she feels? Or is she just one on a list of priorities, often losing out to the competition? Many husbands are eager to help when friends, neighbors, family, or the local church calls for help. There's always time for that . . . and the wife is left waiting, again and again. She's a good woman but, over time, the sparkle in her eye will dim and she'll withdraw to protect her heart. No wife wants to feel unimportant and undervalued by her husband. How can you change and give your wife proof that she is your #1 priority and doesn't have to compete with anything else? Or, make sure she never feels that way - ever!

0:51.8	their husband thinks that they're a priority and want their wife to be a priority.
0:56.5	But the choices they make or the decisions that they choose don't necessarily reflect that, or at least to make them feel that way.
1:03.0	Well, guys, you're married to a good woman, right? You're a good man.
1:07.0	But there's something good men forget when they're busy staying up late, getting up early, taking

1:17.7	counseling dinner plans with their wife so they can help a friend who called with a serious need.
1:22.7	Yes, there's something you are forgetting, right?
1:26.1	This frenzy of needs, one thing you can count on. It's
1:30.4	never going to stop. So true. And you aren't the only one paying the price for your readiness to drop
1:35.5	everything and meet the needs of others. Your wife is paying that price right along beside you.
1:41.5	Yeah, I think that's a lot of our story, the beginning of our marriage in
