100 Ways to Love Your Wife: A Life-long Journey of Learning to Love Each Other

by Matthew L. Jacobson

100 Ways To Love Your Wife is filled with practical ideas for pursuing love, kindness, friendship, and appreciation in the everyday lives of couples committed to enjoying the best a great marriage has to offer (although much of what's here is apropos for those planning to be married, too!). What does it take to have a great marriage? It's not all that complicated - just a whole lot of decisions that say, "I love you," rather than those that say, "I love me." This book provides suggestions that help demonstrate to your spouse that she is a cherished priority in your life.

As a newlywed, I love reading books about marriage. I'm a wife, but I read this book after reading 100 Ways to Love Your Husband, and I love that this book is one long list of ways to enrich your marriage! Matthew shares honest, tried-and-true ways to better love your woman. Even wives can glean something from it!

Hah! You know I HAD to give this one 5 stars! :) I mean, the research that went into this book....? Highly recommended. For any husband.

I really enjoyed reading 100 Ways to Love Your Husband: A Life-Long Journey of Learning to Love, so I was curious to see what the other half had to say about loving wives ;)

My favorite take-aways from this one were the statements: "Relationship" is always present tense, and husbands and wives should pray for each other <3

And this book had me smiling the whole time, because I hit the jackpot with my husband.

3.5 Stars
**This was a reread for me**
This book is a super short, very easy to read list of reminders about how to love your wife well.

It may as well be a collection of Tweets as the average entry would fit under Twitters original 140 character limit.

Lots of simple good stuff. Plenty of obvious stuff. Not sure its worth it as a book, but I enjoyed revisiting it over the course of the last week.

I found this book to be really just a affermation of things that I have been doing throughout my life, for my wife and family. I have just followed the path of my father and the way he showed love to my mother and to myself and my sisters. Their marriage worked until he passed away, and it has been working for my wife and me for over 41 years. Still, this is a good book.

What's not to like? Matthew is one of the few men who get it. This book could be a game changer.

[Neil Martin]

Good reminders to love my wife everyday in every way.

Good reminders to love my wife everyday in every way. Sometimes it’s easy to forget in the daily rush. Thanks.

Okay... so, I liked the book. There were a few, quite a few places where I said "ouch". I know I can do better, and yes, it helped me see that. There WERE some places where I had to check the copy right date. The practicality of a few (very few, mind you) points had me thinking I was going to ask the neighbors to check in on "Wally and the Beaver" while I took June out of the house for a few hours. "Yes, you work 8+ hours a day five days a week but she (especially as a young mom and/or working mother works 24/7 so don't expect her to do it all." Don't assume that she does. Some of the statements were just a little odd... one statement, he actually spoke to the women. "Please forgive us, ladies. Sometimes we just can't resist, even if the result is more like stepping on something in the barnyard than clearing up the problem." That was a statement in point #59 "Helping with the vacuuming isn't a substitute for romance (for most women!)". There are a few like that, but there are MANY that I can see would help me navigate through this life. Now I am intrigued as to see what his wife, Lisa Jacobson wrote in the book my wife is reading...

[Caleb · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book had some great points in it. Some the 100 ways were cheesy, and some were good.

The reason it only receives 3 stars is because there are numerous typos and careless errors in writing the book, that simple proofreading should have found. If I wrote this, I'd be embarrassed that the errors were published.

It's a really short book. You could probably read the whole thing in under an hour.

Great Read

Great book. Full of ideas to treat your wife the way she should be treated . I have fallen short on so many occasions.

[Dylan Brobst · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great daily reminder of how you can love your wife!

A Must Read for Men

This book is a simple but powerful book. The simplicity allows for time of reflection. It is a book that contains a road map but is not presented as a final answer. You should read each page, meditate on that thought, then apply it to your relationship with your wife or significant other.
It would helpful to young men who are dating.
