I have been a Christian husband for 29+ years and thought I was a very good husband. I read this book and it pinpointed my weakness as a husband, one item at a time untill I was exhausted - but had to agree with it. THE SCRIPTURE REFFERENCES ARE DYNAMITE!

This is an excellant book that will teach men why the are here and why they are married to their wife. It shares GREAT insight for men on HOW to love their wives and why their wife does the things they do and what she is expecting of her naturally as God intended. No other book that I have encountered teaches men the ins and outs of why they are where they are as this book does. It is a must read for all men looking to be what he is meant to be here on earth. It should be taught in school. The synopsis needs to be changed. Women benefit in reading the book to see where her husband maybe coming from, but MEN need to read the book to have a successful marriage and become the glory of God as God intended. It will do no man any good for his wife to read it untill he has read it himself.

This book will let every man out there realize what is wrong with their relationship, or how to make it stronger. I only wish I had read this book 6 months ago, I could have saved my marriage. This book is hard for any man to swallow, but if you can get through it you WILL see how to really love your wife and receive love in return.

"There is a way that seems right unto a man; but in the end ...." Most of us guys think we know what a woman needs from us and how we should treat the most important woman in our lives. Often we get left wondering what happened when this woman ends up gone or, at best, leaves us alone in our own house. Many such marriage let downs could be eliminated simply through discovering and using the practicalities of marriage which abound within this book. Every man could use a dose of this stuff on a regular basis. A great book for real men.

THIS BOOK IS ONE THAT I WISH EVERY MAN WOULD READ AND RE-READ EVERY YEAR OF HIS MARRIED LIFE. IT IS STRAIGHT FORWARD AND EYE-OPENING TO THE MAN WHO DESIRES TO LOVE HIS WIFE. I HAVE GIVEN THIS BOOK OUT TO MANY MEN AND ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY IT. GREAT PRESENT FOR A NEWLYWED MAN....

Having just finished reading this book, I must admit that at times I felt like the authur was way too hard on husbands and blamed them for all the problems in marriage. Surely wifes desire some blame in difficult marriages! Yet, the more I read and opened up, the more I felt his assessment is fair given our God given responsibilities as the head of the home. But, be warned; the lessons in this book will only work if you are committed to living a Christian lifestye. Although there are many type-o's throughout the book and it is a bit rambling at times, as my pastor says, "you need to eat the hay and leave the sticks". If you are able to be objective and set a side your natural defensiveness as a man, you will find many useful lessons in this book. Also, another excellent book on the subject is Loving Your Wife as Christ Loves the Church by Larry McCall. It is a kinder, gentler approach to the same subject. God bless!

I bought this book at the suggestion of my lifelong pastor for my husband. He suggested every married couple should read this book. My husband has really enjoyed it and it has given him much insight. I lost my 1st husband to Cancer and me and my present husband reconnected (January 2011) after 21 years apart. We married 10 months after reconnecting and it has been WONDERFUL! I would highly suggest any couple to read this book!

This book has to be God inspired the way it is so right on with the reasons behind a womans response.I have never been able to word it this well when I have tried.
It does not get a woman off the hook either in her position, but truly explains why she reacts as she does.Woman are made to follow and serve and when we are not "able" to carry out what we were made for, we get very lost.
We desire to be led, but our leadership must make sense with how we are designed, to our chidren also.Compassion and lack of pride is a foundation here, without it nothing will work peacefully.
I am so thankful this book addresses it so clearly.
It is alot for a man to swallow, but if you want things to work like they were designed, its the only way it will work peacefully.

I took the time to read this book and it was brilliant. Written by a man, but seen through the eyes of a woman. He knows exactly what a woman needs and wants in a man. Well written and to the point. All men should read.

This book is one that has impacted many marriages! When my marriage was falling apart I had a Christian friend that had bought the book to read...I saw him with it and felt compelled to ask him if I could borrow it to read (he was somewhat aware of my marital issues)...he did and I read it in one evening. The further I read in the book that more I understood and realized how much I had/was hurting my wife, not in a physical way, but rather mentally & emotionally by the way I didn't treasure her and what she wanted to and was able to contribute to our marriage. By the second chapter my heart was broken with conviction and tears of sorrow were prevalent! To be honest...this was about the second step in God intervening in my life to help me realize that I could not be a good husband without His love fully a part of it. But, this book is one I have cherished and given to a number of friends (guys) who had struggling marriages, and have seen the reading of this book having very positive results! This is not a "religious" book per se, although the author acknowledges that the love God wants us to give our wives is unselfish, honest, and regularly dispensed. If you, as a husband, are not in a good/great marriage I would consider this book a MUST READ...if you have a good/great marriage, I still think this book is an excellent book to remind us of the treasure and gift that God gives us in our wives...and this book helps us all to consider this and inspires us to love our wives in the way they need and the way we should!
