This is what wives want you to know.

It’s probably been about five years since a friend sent me a tweet about Marriage Works! Inc. and I’ve been a fan ever since. They were the first people on social media who were purposefully helping people be pro-active about their marriages. There were others out there; I just wasn’t familiar with any of them.

Recently, I had a chance to get on the phone with Kevin Bullard, the President of MW! and have a conversation about what it means to him to be a purposeful husband. In this conversation, Kevin talks about:
- The Question Husbands Don’t Ask, That Wives Wish They Would.
- Two Reasons We Don’t Ask The Question and How We Can and Why We Should Start Asking It.
- His Biggest Challenge with Being a Purposeful Husband.
- “The Sprinkler Effect’ Trap That Working Husbands Can Easily Fall Into and Why It Can Ruin Your Marriage.
- 3 Ways to Avoid “The Sprinkler Effect” including One I Have Been Guilty of Being Afraid to Use.
- How to Begin Building a Network Outside of Your Marriage That Benefits Your Marriage.
- A Man’s Biggest Fear and How Their Wives Either Feed It or Starve It to Death.
- And the Resources Kevin Uses to Help Him Stay on Track of Being a Purposeful Husband Including One That Encourages “Cheating.”
I am fortunate that I can call Kevin Bullard a friend now. It’s friends like him that help ease some of the pressure we can put on ourselves as husbands. I hope that his wisdom is as beneficial to you as it is to me.
What’s “The Question”?
To fully understand it, listen to the conversation we had. But the question is, “Why am I not more expressive?”

It annoys me so much when good content like this has been badly handled. This is lazy, unedited journalism. You can’t just interview someone, slap it online raw and call it an article. How irritating.
Interesting that you would say that Victoria. I had a few articles written derived from the content in the interview. I looked at other audio interviews posted on GMP and assumed this format was what the audience liked. Good to know that some people prefer it differently. Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the content.
Outstanding interview! Both Kevin and Conrad shared their hearts, brains and their battle scars with courage and humility.
It is incredibly encouraging to know that other husbands share the same motivations and struggles. I have a major problem with the sprinkler effect in my family life. It’s nice to know I’m not alone!
I’m thankful for these guys and their willingness to be vulnerable to help the rest of us improve our marriages.
Thanks Donnie! I think the sprinkler effect is super easy for most of us to fall into so I’m glad Kevin shared that.
I’m glad this interview was beneficial and thank you for sharing!
