Book Description

September 15, 2006
Speaketh the Language of Him

A man comes home and says to his wife, “I had a horrible day at work today.” She says, “Tell me about it.” “I just did,” he replies. Men and women communicate differently—and, all too often, not at all! This book is a sort of “linguistics” school that will teach you to speak your husband’s language: male . You’ll discover simple ways to cultivate a sense of humor about your male and female differences, open conversations with him—and keep them going, frame what you’re saying with masculine interest areas, respond proactively to what your husband shares, and develop thicker skin (this alone is worth the price of the book). Change up your language, spice up your marriage! It’ll be your husband’s favorite thing you’ve ever done…well, almost!

Story Behind the Book

“The concept for this book was born at five o’clock in the morning as I was working out,” says Connie. “To keep myself awake, I thought about what Nancy and I should write to follow The Politically Incorrect Wife . ‘What’s a topic that almost every married woman in America is interested in?’ I asked myself. Almost instantly, the answer came: How to get your husband to talk to you. Thus began a lot of reading, researching, surveying, and practicing. We were surprised time and again at what worked, and what didn’t! We think you will be as well.”

4.0 out of 5 stars There's Truth between these covers!, March 13, 2002
By 
As a man, the best thing I can say about this book is that it is dead on correct about men. I have no idea if it will bring comfort to wives or even change to marriages, but at least you can trust that the information you are getting here is normal, down-to-earth common sense about men from a woman's perspective (the authors are women), and from there you can do with it what you want.

The book's audience is young wives in their 30s or late 20s, and this reflects a situation I am seeing so often in this (my) generation - both partners begin with seperate careers and consider each other equals, yet the husband and wife gradually shift towards more traditional division of labor (stay-at-home mom, bread-winning dad, blah blah) as the marriage solidifies - not out of obligation but out of choice and trust. The example stories in this book clearly show young busy mothers with healthy social lives and husbands who watch football and are busy trying to succeed at their new careers. The men are quiet and their wives are curious and caring, period. No big mysteries, just age old sexual misunderstandings.

This isn't a "marriage-in-crisis" book, but rather a manual on how to fine tune your relationship from the position of an already loving (but perhaps not perfect) marriage. It suggests understanding of men from the woman's part, and doesn't ask that men change or understand you at all. Thus this book is largely intended for you to love your husband (even more than you already do) by learning about his basic nature and enhancing your relationship with him. From there you can better communicate your needs to him, and through his naturaly desire to help you, he will strive to meet those needs. (a lot harder than it sounds, I know) The authors give God a minor yer important role in this process, and anyone with or without a spiritual leaning will find this book complimentary. The authors don't strike old fashioned "woman is her husband's servant" stances, but they aren't feminists either - they portray men as they are, and suggest you improve your marriage, not your man. So, if you are struggling to come to grips with the stereotypical weaknesses of males and perhaps your mate, this isn't the book for you.

The writing itself is very focused - chapters often lasting only 3-4 pages, and each ends with a short "recap" sentance. This method makes the book very accessable, with over a hundred chapters for you to quickly find some comfort for whatever problem is bother you. One piece of advice, it's in the book but might be overlooked or underemphasized: read the chapter titled "Don't Make Him a 'Project'" and take its lessons to heart, as the right knowledge with the wrong emphasis can backfire on you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Some good ideas, but tone is a bit degrading to women, March 20, 2008
By 
Miss B (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I really wanted to like this book...however, the tone really makes a woman feel a bit like a doormat. There is little encouragement of actual being "real" with the person you are with. Intelligent women appreciate advice that allows them to be open and honest about their needs and to be able to compromise. The focus of this book seems to leave this out.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book completely opened my eyes!, January 8, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I was very hesitant to order this book being that my husband and I do "talk". However, I felt as if we had not have a normal conversation like when people date. We didn't talk about goals, interests, feelings, or anything else that came from the heart. We were merely exchanging essential information, such as, "Please pick up milk on your way home", or "What time will you be home?". I began to wonder why we were even together because although I wasn't unhappy, I was not truly happy. Little things got in the way like he wouldn't remember to take out the garbage, or he would forget birthdays, but yet he could remember very insignificant things that had nothing to do with him or myself. Upon receiving this book I felt like I finally had an answer, a complete answer. Most of the things discussed in this book can be found elsewhere, but only in bits and pieces. Why not get the whole solution, and from a Christian perspective? If you employ these solutions to your real problems, whether big or small, your relationship can turn around like magic!
