#1 That's odd, every Arab Male I've dealt with fastidiously cleans his face, ears, mouth, hands & feet before entering the Mosque to pray. They don't pay any attention to their armpits though, sometimes there is a little unhappiness emanating from up under there. Proxemics are a big thing amongst Arabs, they place a heavy emphasis on how ones' body smells, his breath, how close he is from you whilst talking, etc. It appears we have a Farsi version of Pigpen on our hands here...

#2 I take a bath once a week, whether I need it or not. However, the "Hollywood Shower" idea of the newly-wed husband is veddy veddy bad because it wastes too much water, unless one take sea water showers. Since psychologists are unIslamic, the best alternative that I recommend is to have him report to a local accredited Imam for a court-ordered consultation and evaluation. Then the Imam will report to the court and the husband can retort. Then a judgement can be rendered in the case. I have spoken. Make it so, XO.

#4 # 2 ONCE A WEEK~~ EEERRR. most shower every day or every other day. This "smelly Husband" suffers from Depression and has a chemical imbalance in his brain which result's in this type of behavior- i.e. obsessive complusive disorder. He has gone to the other extreme of NOT washing. Get the 'ol boy to a doctor a.s.a.p.

#5 one understands that when the good wife pinches the nose with one hand and points bathroom-wards with the other, it is time to take action. A daily shower is one of the things manditory for marital bliss...

#7 I think one of the Kennedys of Mass. sufferered from the Depression. I once saw Hal Holbrook in Winchester VA (his daughter was the apple blossom fairy that year).

#8 Depression is a common, treatable illness that effect's millions of people. I can tell by my
educational background and knowing many that suffer from this- that is what "smelly husband"
suffers from.
