He said, “I thought coming home everyday, not drinking, not smoking, and providing for her and the family was being a very good husband. I see now that’s not it.” And he is right.
While his behavior is good, it is exactly this that is expected of him. This is so not because he is marrried, but because that is what decent people do. So the fact that he behaved this way is NOT to be applauded. There is nothing fantastic or extraordinary about what he did. He simply did what he is suppose to do from the beginning.
With that said, what is to be applauded is his realization that his good behavior has made him think he does not have to do anything else for his wife. He now knows marriage is more than coming home.
