I co-lead a Bible study group which is using this book right now. Honestly, we haven't totally finished it yet, but so far, this is a great book. It is easy to read so it doesn't mean an overwhelming amount of homework for the group. The study questions in the back do not simply ask you to "fill in the blank" from what you have already read. The questions suppliment the reading. The author intertwines her writing with scripture and quotes from a poll of husbands. Many contemporary wives will see themselves in this book. In the end, this book is more about a wife's relationship with God than about a wife's relationship with her husband. This book can change your life and improve your marriage.

This book did a good job describing what men want and giving suggestions of how to give it to them. I've read much of the same stuff before, but this was a well-written book on the topic and I'm going to keep it in my library for another read-through.

However, if you were to buy just one book on the subject of improving your relationship with your husband (which is why I bought this), I'd recommend "For Women Only" by Shaunti Feldhahn. She not only covers most of the topics in this book but she goes much more in-depth so you can really understand what men mean when they say that they want respect or whatever.

Jaynes is a God-fearing woman who writes about what it is to love your man well. She writes beautifully, feels deeply, thinks clearly and gives today's woman -- "modern" and "traditional" alike -- a good dose of reality in a kind but direct way. The reality is, your marriage isn't about you. It's about God. Finding and marrying the right person matters, but being the right person is our calling. Great advice!
I'm single and bought this for a married friend, and ended up reading the whole thing myself on an airport layover. It's a great read even for singletons.

No one told me to read this book - I picked it up with an earnest desire for a godly marriage. The author is involved in Proverbs 31 ministry - www.gospelcom.net - which provides a wealth of information, speakers, conferences and literature - on God's purpose and plan for women, marriage and the family.

Some of the chapters made me smile and giggle out loud because it's hard for a "modern" gal like me to swallow, but if you come in to it with an open mind and open heart, you will enjoy reading this book and get a lot out of it. I did.
