I loved this book. It’s so rich and there’s so much to process. I read what every man wants first. It took 3 months to digest the information. As a single woman who desires to be married, it was beneficial for me to read from married a persons perspective. Their testimonies were hilarious and dreadful yet so encouraging and life giving. I couldn’t believe some of the stuff that I was reading! But it all boiled down to the power of love and why it’s so important to put God in your relationship.

3 months later I flipped the book to what every woman wants. It was more manageable lol. Unlike the husbands section; I felt like I was going through deliverance then lol. But I gathered a lot of vital information from this book. I love the prayers and have incorporated a few in my prayer life. I loved how Pastor Hagee and his wife were so transparent in sharing some of their experiences. And here I thought marriage was bliss, marriage is HARD WORD! But it’s so much easier according to this book, if Christ is at the center of it. I recommend this book to married folks, single folks, engaged folks. Much to learn in his book. I highly recommend!!!

I have much admiration for the Hagee family so I knew that reading this book would be a great blessing to me. My husband and I led a Bible study, reading through only one "side" of this book, so I will be reviewing: "What Every Woman wants in a Man" by Diana Hagee. Though the front cover does say "10 Qualities for Nurturing Intimacy", those who signed up for the study were primarily single and were expecting the book to talk about the qualities women look for in a man. It was a little surprising to learn that the text was about how to make an existing marriage grow and flourish. Instead of the text describing the ideal man, there was a lot of pointers for what the woman can do FOR the man in her life. So, I would recommend this book to married couples. I do like the personal examples Diana uses in the book as she talks about being the mother of 5 kids, being a Pastor's wife and sharing stories between her and John Hagee. She also references Dr. Anne Reed who is a professional counselor and there are "Hints for Him" on the pages as if to indicate that women are primarily reading this "side" of the book. There are prayers at the end of each chapter: Closing prayers, prayer of repentance and prayer of new beginnings. Diana Hagee speaks in truth and love and offers insights into creating your marriage into a Heaven on earth. I think some chapters "spoke" to me more than others, but overall it was a great Biblical resource to read and I will definitely be reading the other "side" : "What every Man wants in a Woman" by John Hagee very soon!

This is currently my devotion. I am enjoying learning how to be submissive (NOT!)

A great work by the famous pastor, John Hagee, and his 2nd wife, Diana. The book is organized with two front covers placed upside down to each other to facilitate two books in one. The side by Diana is 155 pages long excluding notes. It precedes with a dedication "to the only man I ever wanted...". There are 11 chapters dealing with the 10 things women want in a man(faithfulness, leadership, respect, family man, provider, honesty, communication, sense of humor, romance, godly man) in descending order; the final chapter is called "the Torah way". The next section by John is, interestingly, considerably shorter at 93 pages. It starts with a dedication to Diana as a "living portrait of the Proverbs 31 woman of God". This part has 8 chapters focusing on: has the marriage lost its sizzle?; what women want; love secrets every man must know; more love secrets; imprisonment, adultery and abuse; addictions, alcoholism and homosexuality; poor communication, lack of passion and poor money management; and love's portrait. In the introduction he states what men want as: sexual fulfillment, recreational playmate, beautiful wife, committed homemaker, admiration, a woman of moral virtue, someone with a sense of humor, intelligence, someone he can totally trust, and someone who is absolutely honest. In all, it is quite informative.

Old school mentality. I got to the last 30 pages and couldn’t finish it. This is a very traditional way of thinking; would like to find something more modern.

[Barbara · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a Christian primer for those wanting to get married, and is coauthored by a pastor (John Hagee) and his wife, who each write half of the book from the male or female perspective. I found Hagee's oneliners and jokes tiresome after a while, but his advice is solid: love and respect your mate, and understand the differences between men and women. It was a good read, but I've read better books on relationships.

This was a good book, but not much that was new, or that you don't see in other marrieds books. It was a bit confusing too as to which side was writen to who. I actually perferred Diana Hagge's side of the book.

[Danettewinslow · Rating 4 out of 5]

I haven't finished it but it helps you look at things from both male and female perspectives...Maybe both people in the relationship should read. It is a bit of an eye opener with a Christian spin on everything. It can help you build a stronger relationship if you have an open mind.

This book was part of our reading for seminar in bible school. I thought the information in the book was ok. It was more for people already in a relationship/married and how to keep that love going in Christ. It wasn't what I thought it would be.

Cuma baca yang bagian 'What Every Man Wants..' aja. Yang satu lagi ntar aja, hahaha... Cukup bagus buat mengenal wanita (ataupun pria).

Excellent reading for both my wife and me. Pastor Hagee makes numerous points that are well taken and very useful.

I think it'll be a nice book to learn about a woman's expectation in a relationship...
