Synopsis: Applying the concepts from his bestseller Sacred Marriage, Gold Medallion award-winning author Gary Thomas reveals what a man needs from his wife to become the husband she wants. Now in softcover!

Description: If you’re sick of all the ways you’ve tried to bring about change in your marriage—the silent treatment, nagging, one-way discussions, or pleading—it’s time to set aside those broken methods for a Christ-based approach. This book demonstrates how women can inspire, influence, and help their husbands move in positive directions. Replacing your plan of action with God’s leads to a marital transformation where both partners are moving in sync, the way God intended.

Gary Thomas draws concepts from his bestseller, Sacred Marriage, and outlines practical applications you can start using today. He also shows how marriages were transformed through these methods employed by real-life women.

In these pages, you’ll also find a fresh perspective to help you understand your husband: the view of the marriage relationship through a man’s eyes. Thomas gives you insider information on how men think, feel, and can truly be motivated.

I felt this book spoke directly to my heart and stated instances that I am going through as a wife. I was amazed to know that the problems I'm going through with my husband are things other wives are going through.

Gary Thomas is certainly a gifted writer! Every woman that wants to have a marriage God intended, this is a must-read book! Gary uses biblical references to support the facts of what a marriage is. He shares how God made man's and woman's brain different using scientific facts. By sharing those difference it supports why we react so differently to events, sex, and decisions in our lives. His approach certainly made me see the "light" on how important it is to understand our differences and he gives suggestions of the best ways to approach our husbands to create better communication and partnership. He is open about how men think, and since he is a man he is an expert :-) He explains how and why men react the way they do. Being reminded we are married to one of God's sons certainly caught my attention. Now I have better understanding to the terms "helper" and "submit" , before this book I didn't care for those terms at all; now I appreciate them. You just need to read this book...you won't be disappointed! I plan to buy copies to give away.
