The book, "The six husbands every wife should have" (the book is written by a husband - Dr. Steven Craig) talks about how a husband has to constantly grow, evolve and renew himself at least six times, by the time he turns 60....
For as people grow, their relationship and the relationship's needs change. (The book's premise is that women do it naturally as they become home-keepers and mothers and grandmothers.)

1st husband - At the time of marriage, the husband has to be fun, carefree, full of dreams and
potential...The couple should make each other laugh and feel good about each other.
2nd husband - After a couple of years, the husband has to grow out of his carefree, fun and life-of-every-party ways. He needs to get established in his career and begin preparing for a family.

3rd husband - When the kids come, the husband has to learn patience, be home as much as possible & scale down all his extra activities.
4th husband - As children grow, the husband has to again reinvent himself, be more focused on kids putting them first just as the wife does.

The wife needs a 'daddy' more than a 'honey'. The motto must be 'family comes first'.
5th husband - This husband needs to help children become gradually independent; supporting them through their mistakes and growing-up pangs. He needs to be responsible and trustworthy.

6th husband - By the time children leave home, the wife becomes more confident and assertive. Now she doesn't need a strong-but-silent man whom she can lean on - instead the husband has to become vulnerable and sensitive, who opens his heart to her and values her as an equal -
leaning on her for strength at times.
The book brings to light that the very qualities a wife initially loves in her man are the very things that become a thorn in their marriage during later years - if the man doesn't outgrow them.

For marriage is a lifelong relationship that must feed the family's emotional needs as those needs change.
A life-partner has to continuously reinvent himself/ herself. It not only makes our marriage better, but also makes us better people - and our life more fuller.

Problems in marriage occur not because we are not good people - but because we don't grow up.
How many men (and women) have the courage to grow, evolve and change as the dynamics of marriage and family change?
