My husband is 75 and retired and I can't seem to get him to take a bath or shower more than once a week, if that?

He's from the old school where water was a treat and not something you'd stand in for 30+ minutes a day. How about communication? Why not talk to him and find out his reasons for not bathing or showering. Maybe there is more to it then you being that concerned about it. Talk to him!!

Best way is to catch him right after a shower and cuddle up close and comment on how you really like to be close to him when he smells so good right after a shower. Try to avoid nagging or saying negative things. If he ever works hard on a project you might get away with saying "It is so great that you got so much done on that project, I really feel good about that. Would you feel better if you had a nice hot shower to freshen up while I make dinner?" Now you might get away with that, but even that he might manage to see as criticism. (You know how to get a mule to go forward-- get in front and push) seriously-- good luck. Life is supposed to be fun, but there sure are a lot of rocks in the road.

I would refuse to get into bed of a night if my husband had not had a bath or shower.
Explain to him that his behavior is unacceptable. You should not have to put up with his poor hygiene, even at his age.
Run a bath for him, even bathe together.

1.Talk to him about it.
2.Take showers with him,make it fun.
3.Find out the reason why he does not want to bathe.
4.Reward him everytime he does it,make it fun.
If that don't help;hose him down and let him see the goods and cannot have it.

Give him an incentive, a BJ for every shower? That could work, that would sure as hell get me in the shower.

well if he doesn't smell I wouldn't worry about it
To get him to bath more often, maybe run him a nice bubble bath. Make it look like you went to all this trouble to make if for him, and hopefully he'll feel "gulity" enough to take it.

well i think you should help him out...join in with him... tell him you would love to shower with him and give his genitals more attention.. take a shower with him and slowly jerk his c--k and maybe give him some head.. if these things don't work i think you should take him to the doctors and see whats really up with him

Tell him it's important to you, and if he cares about you he will take a shower more often.

talk to your family physician on your next visit. he may be having some physical difficulty, he may be depressed (personal hygiene is a common issue). try asking him why he doesnt bathe. see what he says. but definately see your family doctor.
