I have been married for a little under 2 years and my husband never committs the "Love Buster" Sin, we don't really argue a lot, but we don't nescessarily "Work" on our marriage either. I ask him if he thinks we have a good marriage, he says "I dont know" So I ask him why he doesn't care more, he says "I don't know" How can I get him to care about our marriage?

Davesgirl, great to see you are X-treme for Christ! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
Actually, your H NOT telling you his needs or dreams for your marriage kind of is lovebusting!
I highly recommend getting him to read His Needs, Her Needs with you. He can find out all about what makes you "tick" (and ticked?) as a woman and you can gain some valuable insights into what he needs from you.
If he won't read it with you, read it on your own and use it as a springboard for conversation.
Do you guys still go out on dates? Married people so often forget to keep the romance going and I think that's one of the weaknesses that leads to all kinds of troubles.
Also, pray and ask God to show you how to reach his heart so he will respond. Don't ask H when he's watching tv--ask him when you are eating together or going for a walk, etc.
And don't hesitate to make an extra effort on your own part--not that you should do all the giving but it's amazing what kinds of responses you can get when you "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"--even for husbands! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
Blessings to you!

Freshstart! Thanks for the encouragement! I actually asked for that book for Christmas, that will definately help. Yes, We go on weekly dates. It is hard because my husband and I are in ministry and we are busy with me goingto school and the responsibities at the church. We hold our date nights very sacred, and lately we haven't been doing great marriage builder dates. It is very hard to find the 15 hours a week that is recommended, but he has said that we would try that. I apprieciate your response! God Bless you! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
