What does a man need most from his wife? Arlene Pellicane, author of 31 Days to Becoming a Happy Wife , asked numerous husbands that question. Based on their answers, Pellicane identified five keys that will give wives a new appreciation and understanding of how to love and care for their mates. As you begin to DREAM again with your husband, something amazing will happen. You will see your husband with new eyes. You will remember what drew you together in the first place. With many practical ideas (like the 5-30 second daily kiss), you'll be ready to experience more joy than you've felt in a long time. Every day a wife is either building her husband up or tearing him down. This book offers wives a 31-day, no holding back, life-changing building program for their marriages. Get started today!

Too weird for me. So much of this honestly sounded like an abused spouse who would do anything to please her husband. What a miserable life. Some points made sense, and some made me so angry for her.
This book helped really bring things into perspective more. There are many times that a mans point of view is brought into the book about subjects/ topics. It helped me to better understand where my husband is coming from, and there are other men that have the same thoughts/ feelings about their wives/ marriage.
Overall, the principles of this book were positive and relevant. I did not realize however how much a christian based book this was when I started it. I felt uncomfortable and dissapointed with the sections on submissiveness and physical appearance. This book had a "Stepford Wife" feel.
This was such a great book for me! It gave me many great ideas of how I can honor & love my husband and always strive to better our marriage. I would highly recommend for wives that want to work to understand their husbands better. This book is very driven by Christian values, which for me is a must in this type of reading. I enjoyed it. It brought about some great discussions with my husband and he was excited I was reading something like this and was very engaging in talking about it with me. Very thought provoking.
