Great book on marriage

Very relatable, easy to listen to and follow

Many books like this are boring and I lose interest quickly. This stayed engaging the whole book. The stories were very relatable. All the Christian references will turn off some people. The author follows a man-of-the-house philosophy based on biblical principles while trying to balance listening more to one’s wife. Sometimes these philosophies seemed at odds. I think the author knows this, but it would’ve been nice if he outwardly acknowledged the conflict somewhere in the book.
Removing this minor gripe, its tone is good and the material is effective (if put to use). It had me more motivated to be a better husband the moment I got home from work far more than other audiobooks have. Just finished the book and my wife has already cuddled on me more in the last few days than the last few months.

Incredible info and well written

I wish I had read this book 20 years ago. The information is unbelievable plus it is presented in a very digestible way.

A Good Book for Husbands Wanting to be Better

I was looking for a book that would help me become a better husband. I wouldn't say I was doing poorly, but was definitely falling into a rut. I saw the positive reviews for this book and gave it a shot.

First off, this is a not a quick list of actions to patch things up so you can go back to being your old self. The author emphasizes that you have to keep working at it always. He provides many habits that would be well worth following by any spouse.

The author provides many real life examples to illustrate what to do and not do and how your actions affect your relationship. He provided lots of actionable advice and good questions which I was able to discuss with my wife.

Ultimately, my take away from this book is that I must take responsibility for happiness in my marriage. And I think this idea really rings true now days when everyone seems to come at relationships with a "what's in it for me?" attitude. I really enjoyed this book and think many husbands and wives would benefit from listening to it.

Best Book for Husbands

If you are a husband, or plan to be one some day, READ THIS BOOK!!! It will save you so much heartache and frustration as you learn to live with that woman God gave you.

Practical advice

This book is amazing, I especially like that the author put his personal life in the lines, he truly shows that these things did not come by chance, but by failures, errors, and practical lessons he learned over many years. I will do my best as a husband to apply these principles in my marriage, and I will watch our marriage bloom. I encourage you from a man to a man to take the time, listen and apply the lessons in this boom
