Fair maidens - do you want a knight in shining armor?, April 21, 2005
This review is from: Spit and Polish for Husbands: Becoming Your Wife's Knight in Shining Armor (Paperback)
I have the answer for you! Well, not me personally. Bryan Davis has the answer.
I'm not a great non-fiction reader. If it is for work, then yes, I read it. But anything else - I pass easily. In fact, non-fiction just doesn't hold my attention. If I read two non-fiction books a year, I'd be stretching it! Generally I start with good intentions - but they fade as the tediousness settles in and I don't finish the book. I have a small pile of non-fiction books next to my bed, all half read, all thrown over for a good fiction fix!
But look what I've found! A non-fiction book that held my attention ... and not only that, it had me laughing! Wow! That was unexpected.
Even more unexpected, this book is not meant for women, it is meant for men. Yet here I am, fully woman, and loving the book. And not because it showed me all the things my husband should be doing for me, but because I also gleamed information from it about what I should be doing for my husband!
Who can resist a book with chapters titled `The Toilet and Other Female Domains - The Lid, the Paper, and Aiming to Please', `The Secret Cactus Code - Deciphering Her Words and Moods', and `Slaying Dragons - Not Your Mother-in-law'.
Davis covers topics ranging from a woman's `domain' in the home, and how to tread carefully if you are a male visiting these areas, to understanding a woman's mood and language. He touches on watching out for your wife's welfare in the workforce and when dealing with home matters, how to keep your tongue from being a double-edged sword, and how to keep a servants heart. Heavier topics cover a Knights Old Code, marriage vows and passing on the legacy.
`Spit and Polish for Husbands' is a wonderful guide for men on how to keep themselves the love of their wife's life through their Christian walk.
Although this book is very serious in its message, Davis has interwoven a wonderful wit that lifts the heaviness of most chapters. But not all. There were two chapters that I found hard to slug through. But two out of twelve is a jolly good ratio!

Really Good!, September 22, 2011
This review is from: Spit and Polish for Husbands: Becoming Your Wife's Knight in Shining Armor (Paperback)
Well I can't give the perfectly written review. But I can so that this was a very good book.
It was written for husbands but it doesn't mean only husband can read it. I think it is great for anyone 16+ because it is definitely an adult book.
This book actually gave me some help as being a brother. I suggest that people read this book. Even if they have a strong marrage or family, for that matter.
