I love romance and fantasy the most, but lately, I’ve been given an opportunity to review this self-help book, entitled ’52 Ways to Wow Your Husband’ by Pam Farrel.
I thought this particular self help book is going to be another one of those boring, lame, uninspiring motivational book, but I was surprised that it’s not only not boring, but very interesting to read as well. It is in fact, a book that changes my life forever. Well, not exactly my life, but close enough, as it helps me to put some spices in my marriage and makes me a much happier woman.
This book, ’52 Ways to Wow Your Husband’ is for those who wants to bring some excitement into their mundane marriage life. You see… once you’re married for quite a period of time with your spouse, some of those ‘wow’ factor that you have before you got married is gone due to marital responsibilities and whatnot. And before you know it, your married life will be just another routine you’d have to bear, and you practically wonder what you’ve gotten yourself into.You didn’t sign up for a boring life of taking care of the kids all the time. And you definitely did not sign up to dealing with scrutinizing in laws. You signed up for a marriage because you love the man and wants to build a happy life together with him.
This book teaches you how to wow your husband and bring back the romance into your marriage. This book covers from flirting with your husband, surprising your husband, planning a date with him and not to mention how to have a much more emotionally intensified sex life.
You’re taught how to surprise your husband once a week with this book, and you’re supposed to make use of this book to improvise your relationship with your husband, and I’m sure glad I did picked up this book though I’m not a fan of self-help books.
I enjoyed this book very much, and I enjoyed doing the ‘experiments’ and ‘assignments’ recommended by the book even more. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
This book changes my life and helps bring some surprise element in my marriage, and I highly recommends this book to those who wants some wow in their marriage.

I found this book very enjoyable and intriguing. This book is for the Christian wife who wants to show her husband her love and devotion for him. Maybe a new spark is needed. Maybe both husband and wife are falling into those bad habits of routinely "doing their own thing" and not involving each other into their lives. Maybe you have even started to forget why you fell in love in the first place. This book is for the wife who wants to change all that or just remind her husband that she is still "in love" with him. This book encompasses stories, prayers, devotions, and "Wow" ideas to kick-start your marriage again. The book is planned out for one "Wow Idea" each week, which is very manageable, but you can certainly pick your favorites to implement at any time. The ideas range from the very simple (making his favorite breakfast in bed) to the more in depth ( planning a "courageous" date that may be out of your box, but exciting for him).
Even though I believe my marriage is very solid and happy, I have no doubt these ideas could create a spark in our relationship. I have a few ideas up my sleeve and plan to spring them on my husband in the near future. This book reminds you of why you fell in love with your husband in the first place and celebrates that. It also reminded me of the need to pray for my husband daily. I know that I have been neglecting that aspect of our marriage and this book shows you how to do just that. How can you go wrong planning surprises for your husband and praying for him daily?

A woman knows what she finds romantic, but ask her what her husband finds romantic (other than sex) and she might need a little time to think of an answer. Even a woman who has been married many years may occasionally find that she needs an idea about how to put that special spark into the relationship. In 52 Ways to Wow Your Husband, Pam Farrell, who has been a wife for over 31 years, shows wives how they can connect with and “wow” their husbands.
As this book is meant to be done over a year's time (one a week), I obviously did not have the time to test out all the ideas in this book before reviewing it. However, I can tell you that the few that I did were highly successful at “wowing” my husband and making him smile. :) The ideas range in complexity and cost. Some of them are freebies that you can do and some of them require substantial spending. The nice thing is that you don't have to go in any sort of order. You can pick and choose which ones to do and when to do them.
Pam Farrell's tone in 52 Ways to Wow Your Husband, is kind and humorous which makes for an quick and enjoyable read that is sure to enhance any marriage relationship.

I have been reading this book for the last week, while trying to keep it hidden from my husband, which I was able to do successfully. Then tonight, I sit down to write this post with the book beside me and my husband comes over and picks it up and says "Have you read this yet?" with a big smile. He then told me I wow him everyday . . :) I just couldn't believe that after I had hid it all week he see's it tonight! But anyway - let me tell you about the book.
This book has 52 chapters - (52 weeks) - with a different idea for something special you can do to "wow" your husband. You can get a better idea of this by reading the first chapter below. For me, the book just opened my eyes to how little I know about certain areas of my husband's life. I remember doing all sorts of fun stuff outside the house before our youngest son came along and how quickly our together time has been squashed for family time. Family time is important - but we need to be strong together before we can be strong together as a family. I am going to be spending the next few weeks really paying attention to what my husband does in his free time, what he does to relax, what some of his favorites are - and then I am going to be preparing some "wow" dates. I have already started devising some things I can do in October - as that is the month that we started dating. This book definitely has the ability to draw us closer together, and I am looking forward to it!

The title of this book scared me a little bit. I'm conservative and wasn't sure what would be involved in "wowing" my husband. The only reason I considered reviewing this book was because it was by a Christian Publisher. Although the author has no qualms about talking about the importance of sex, sex is not the main focus of this book.
This book has 52 creative date ideas and suggestions to build a stronger relationship. Although not all of them were ideas that fit me there were some really great suggestions I'm planning to try. The chapters are short which made this a really quick read. With as crazy as my life has been this book helped me remember that despite all the trials and stresses of life with 5 kids I need to remember to take time for my marriage and put my husband first.
Rating: 3.5 Stars

Content: Clean - but obviously aimed at married women.

I was not familiar with Pam and Bill Farrel or their ministry, but the title of this book was too good to pass up. Written for women, it's a short, easy read with 52 ideas or suggestions for improving your relationship with your husband. There are thoughts and examples, assignments and bible verses. Pam is not afraid to talk about intimacy and sex and the important part it plays in a marriage, but sex is not the focus of the book. The focus is more on supporting, encouraging and loving your husband and practical suggestions for doing so.
I think this would be an entertaining, interesting book for women who are actively looking for help strengthening their marriage relationship and even women who aren't. I found several chapters that were interesting and had merit and relativity to my life.

September 8, 2011This reminds me of The Husband Project: 21 Days of Loving Your Man--on Purpose and with a Plan a great resource. It is always valuable as a wife to take some time to focus on one's husband and indeed bless him through words and deeds. From this book I especially appreciate the "Wow Wisdom: Bible Verses and wise words to help cover your spouse in prayer."
What an interesting introduction, yet so true... and the term "red-hot monogamy" puts me in stitches... ;)

I am reviewing a ebook copy of this book provided by NetGalley. This is a Christian book so you know there will not be any risque surprises in it! The book provides 52 ideas to improve your marriage relationship, that is one idea for each week of the year. In each of the 52 chapters, the reader is provided with some thoughts, then an assignment for that week, scripture based biblical wisdom, and finally an idea for a "date" or activity to do with your spouse that week.
This is a great book for Christians and non-Christians alike. It provides a lot of great ideas for working toward a better martial relationship.

A Hilariously Bad Read: ONLY AS A GAG GIFT!
I received this book as a gag gift from my non-religious common law husband, and I must say, it delivered. As a staunch non-believer, I was not the target audience for this deeply religious book. However, I found myself thoroughly entertained and laughing out loud at the absurdity of it all.
Please note that my one-star rating is not a reflection of the book's entertainment value, but rather its complete failure to achieve its intended purpose. The writing, the arguments, and the overall tone were so over-the-top and unintentionally humorous that I couldn't help but enjoy the ride.
But let's get real – this book is downright disturbing. The author's views on women's roles in society are archaic and oppressive, advocating for a disturbing level of subservience and silence. The idea that women should suppress their opinions, stifle their voices, and always please their husbands, in the name of God, is not only outdated but also deeply damaging.
This book does not deserve to be taken seriously. However, if you're looking for a laugh-out-loud, cringe-worthy gag gift
or entertainment for yourself, then this book might be the perfect fit.

It was a little strange for me reading a book over making my husband happy knowing that there is not an identical one to make him read and making me happy the same. The fact is that there are many good tipps in this book for the perfect christian wife, even if the author couple are not worried about talking over sex, but still it feels akward to me that I have to make everything to accomplish the happiness of my man; in the book there is written that man are not made for making their wife happy, only God and themselves can, so why are we supposed to make our husbands happy? That is not good for them also? I'm still thinking about it, while I act as the perfect wife ;)
