Many of the tips in this book I was already doing, but it was a good reminder to do them out of love again instead of out of habit. Attitude can make a huge difference. If you are not already do his recommendations, though, you really should for a healthy/healthier marriage. Basic ideas to put your spouse first, like you did when you were dating & first married.

I LOVED this book. I read it cover to cover....and enjoyed every minute of it. I know this information is valid as I have talked to women who put it to use....
I encourage you to read it and try it before you knock it.
Dr Leman is a great communicator

I read this book in consideration of a women's book study I lead at my church. I was very excited to read it but disappointed halfway through. Most of the content is GREAT, funny, encouraging, real. What I found to be VERY problematic however was Leman's suggestion of divorce if things have been bad enough for long enough and the husband is not showing any signs of willingness to make change. God is bigger, better, stronger and LOVES to show up in impossible situations. I have seen Him move in "impossible" marriages when the wife became willing to receive His direction...all God needs to move is willingness, and though it can be, it doesn't have to be the husband's. Another problem with this book is that it encourages the wife not to engage sexually with her husband if she is feeling offended or hurt...if there is any problem with him, it must be sorted out FIRST before she gives in...that is NOT Scriptural, and neither is divorce because of a bad marriage/difficult husband. I have also seen, throughout my experience in women's ministry thatoften when a woman surrenders to her husband sexually, it softens him in a way that he becomes willing to make changes to serve her needs as well...someone's got to be the first to give in, and it's usually the wife...it's not fair BUT it is what is is. As a Bible believer, I would not recommend this book for anyone who really loves the Lord and needs God to move in their marriage.

As a therapist myself, I've admired Dr. Lehman for years. I confess to buying the book as a gag gift for my daughter at the rehearsal dinner. However, it is a legitimate help volume well worth reading.

The book has great tips in it. Unfortunately, in this day and age, it is difficult to state gender differences without someone taking offense. The author tries to be matter of fact and fair, and he has a great sense of humor. If you are sensitive about gender differences, and/or want to improve your marriage without acknowledging gender differences, this book is not for you. Indeed, in my opinion, some of the societal issues surrounding marriage difficulties are because of everyone having to be politically correct in what they say. I'm anxious to finish the book and begin to practice some of the author's insights into the male personality. :)

The title was comical, so I read this merely for the entertainment of it. To my surprise, there were some truths that reminded me of how my husband, and even how my son, is wired. I found myself more capable of overlooking some of my husband's behaviors that normally pushed me over the edge. I'm a Christian, a mother of 3 small children, and a public school teacher. I do not consider myself a feminist or old fashioned in my thinking. My husband and I work together sharing a variety of responsibilities and struggling with the same pitfalls as most every other married couple. Leman's insight into the male mind puts things into proper perspective. However, there were a few points that my husband and I disagreed with. Nonetheless, a worthy read.

Great book about changing as a wife first to see the desired results in your husband. My husband saw the book and was very offended so be cautious. I told him that God is never interested in our changing people but us seeking the change in ourselves but Dr. Leman had to make the title appeal to women so they would buy it. don't buy if you aren't ready to change yourself first

From a man's point of view, we are so simple. I don't undersdtand why it takes women sooooooo long to figure us out. Or, maybe they have and don't think we're worth the trouble. If the suggestions in the book are followed I'll bet it will work 99 times out of 100.

Started reading the book and realized the author considered "normal" to be a husband who works and a stay at home wife and mother. Our family, and many others, are the total opposite where I work and he is at home, so this book was worthless to us. Perhaps if the author thought it out and gave more options to other families it would be more appropriate.

I use this book as a tool in counseling couples. I personally know the advice in the book does work. The author has a humorous writing style which makes the book easy and fun to read, despite it's serious content. I recommend this book to any woman struggling in her marriage. Actually, I recommend it to newly married women to give them tools to avoid some of the problems married couples encounter.

This book gives insight into a man's thinking that a wife might not have. I wish I would of been given this book as a bridal shower gift! I bought this book for a friend, and decided to buy myself one as well. I didn't realize that my marriage could benefit from it too. After reading it, I realized that after many years of marriage, I didn't know what a husband really longs for and needs in a wife. I was glad to have a man's perspective.

As a women I have often heard some of the same information or advice. However, hearing it from a male's perspective, with additional insights was great. I've already started using some of the techniques and have received positive results. It's definitely a book for women and causes one in a gently manner, to self reflect and self correct. For example, I used to get worked up when asking my husband to perform a task and when it wasn't completed in my time frame, would get anxious, angry and irritated. But now I internalize that men have a different apprecitation of time, so I will either leave task allow it to get down whenever without nagging OR will add some deadlines to ensure it can be done by a certain time. And if it's not done, it's just not done and allow him to take accountability for it!

This is an excellent book. Easy; quick; and even humorous read. I think my husband was a little nervous when he saw me with the book. Husbands be rest assured this book is for the woman in your life. Dr. Lehman discusses what men need, how they think, how they don't think, how their brains work, etc. These aren't excuses made for them, but explanations of what comes natural to a guy/about a guy. You will laugh, roll your eyes, shake your head and shout AMEN as you read and learn that it's true "boys will be boys". But most of all, I learned and now believe that my guy wants to protect his family and does love his wife, but these things are in his way and I know how to see those ways now. In addition to reading this regarding husbands you will understand your son's or any guy really. It's well worth the time and money.

Lots of great ideas and a very easy read. I finished it during a flight. I ordered the CD for a friend dealing with a rocky marriage and thought it best to get a copy for myself. I have already applied some principles and am reaping the results.

It was one of those quick-reading books. You can get through it real fast. Page-turner for me. Finished it in just a few short days. And that's with having 4 kids under 5 in the house. lol
I've read Dr. Leman before. He generalizes a bit-too much for me. He stereotypes a lot. (Example: Men are messy, can't dress themselves appropriately, thoughtless, forgetful, etc. Women talk too much, are organized, proper, embarrass easily, etc.)
This is one of tons of marrige books I have read. We are going through a crazy hard time. 15 months ago, my husband came out of the sex-addict closet. I am attempting to do what I can to help/not hurt the situation further. As a partner of a recovering sex-addict, A LOT of this didn't apply. So the generalizations of men and women kind of discouraged and depressed me. (Example: If you give your husband plenty of attention and sex, he won't look for it elsewhere. Baloney! And kind of ignorant, if you ask me.) The book didn't hold a lot of answers for me. :( And what's sad is the population and statistics of us are growing rapidly.
So yet another marriage book that can't hurt, but doesn't help.

I have been married for 20yrs and now have 2 teenage sons. My marriage has been a struggle for so long, and now with 3 men in the house, things were becoming very challenging. This is a book that I wish I'd read years ago. The content is so helpful and practical. I've gained understanding that I needed so desperately.
Today we have far less tension in our home, and we're enjoying each other so much more. I now have more realistic expectations about my husband and my sons.
Sometimes I think Dr Leman's titles are very sneaky. Perhaps I would change to title to How to be the New Wife So You Can Have the New Husband by Friday! That wouldn't sell so well, would it?
This book is a MUST for all women whether you have a great marriage or not. It is fun to read, and very insightful. I am now on to my second reading, just so I don't miss anything.

When I saw how good of a deal this book was I thought I would give it a try. Kevin Leman makes it so easy to understand men & in doing so I have come to realize that my husband is really quite wonderful & we really do have a great marriage. Everything makes perfect sense in this book & is a great tool for any marriage. I just wish he would have a book for men on women but than of course most men wouldn't read it lol!
