Especially given your results so far, I think this is great as long as you don't compromise any of your personal principles, the things that define you as yourself.

AND don't apply the "quid pro quo" attitude, whereby you enter into (as I understand them) one of those dreaded Nice Guy covert contracts ... "I'll become the husband she wants, so then she'll desire me more." Hopefully yes, but there's no guarantee. So you should make sure the kind of husband you are becoming still jibes ok with your own sense of what is right and admirable. Otherwise, welcome to Resentment Village.
