    The other day, I bought a special dessert for my husband. Because I love to bake, I don't normally buy desserts. But our family was celebrating a special event in my husband's life, and I decided to purchase a rare treat as a way of honoring him.

    The surprise was not the purchase, however. The surprise came in my husband's unexpected gratitude. He thanked me several times--not for the dessert itself (although he loved it), but for taking time to celebrate him.

    His gratitude blessed me. And his surprise made me realize how often I take him for granted. Routine is (for the most part) easy, or it wouldn't become routine. But a large part of marital joy comes in little packages: the surprise desserts, the private celebrations, the picked-you-up-a-movie and more. And sometimes we need a reminder.

    In THE HUSBAND PROJECT, popular speaker and author Kathi Lipp gives readers that reminder: three weeks' worth of practical tips and thoughtful encouragement wrapped in wisdom and tied with a bright bow of humor. She shares with engaging candor about her own marital bliss and blunders, preparing the way for readers to examine their own.

    The book's user-friendly format makes a great match for busy wives whose marriage relationship could use a refresher. THE HUSBAND PROJECT moves from foundational principles (including a helpful section on adapting the projects to whatever unique situations readers may face) to day-by-day project instructions to a planning/overview sheet and glossary. Projects themselves range from the simple (praising your husband in front of other people) to the more involved (planning a B & B experience at home).

    No, the author doesn't suggest you wrap yourself in Saran and meet your husband at the door (although if it works for the two of you, I'm sure she'd approve). Instead, she sets forth a challenge to allow God to change your marriage by changing you. She also encourages you not to go it alone but to find two friends/accountability partners who will agree to work through the book along with you and meet (online, on the phone, or in person) for regular updates and mutual encouragement.

    Are you up for such a challenge? Are you ready for a marital renewal? Then grab two friends, get the book, and get going. It may be time for a surprise dessert at your house, too.

    If you're one of those wives that wonders where the romance has gone and despairs of ever getting it back (worse yet, you'd just as soon not!), then stop whatever you're doing and read this book! Seriously. If your marriage matters, then it's time to put into practice what Kathi Lipp has so clearly outlined in this simple but profound "hot pink" book. Read it now--and report back after the fire truck leaves--cuz you'll be smokin', and so will your man!

    Although The Husband Project is camouflaged as an adorably written and delightfully funny book, in all reality its a powerful tool to help facilitate a more solid and fulfilling marriage. Lipps engaging style of writing presents her many suggestions in a plausible and palatable way. Many times during the reading of this book I actually laughed out loud at Lipps humor, yet at other times I felt deeply challenged to be a better wife. But through it all I felt like I was sharing a cup of tea with a good friendno condemnation to be found, only love and encouragement. Because the author is willing to laugh at herself and be honest about her own past mistakes, I found myself open to her suggestions and insights. The Husband Project is so much more then a book about marriage. Its a cornucopia of helpful informationeverything from crock-pot recipes to informational websites, recommended books to a list of guy movies. Chock full of fresh ideas and practical insights, the principles found in The Husband Project are sure to infuse marriages everywhere with renewed passion and reawakened love.

    I bought this for myself and may end up buying several more for some girlfriends to do with me. Seems like an exciting project!
