Let me add a few precious cents to this thread. I think women generally DO NOT like sermons given specifically to them by their knowledgeable husbands. Especially if they're young! alot of people on this forum advise others to start doing "ta'leem" at home when they have have a problem with their wives. I don't know how this can work. Is the guy supposed to take a kitaab, sit on the couch and start reading loud? even if he does... Is the wife going to sit down and listen him? rather play the CD's (lectures) of other scholars/aalims in the house/car etc. And listen to them yourself, that way your wife insha-Allah will also get to hear them and in all probability it will have a greater effect on her than her husbands sermons.
