Bringing Out the Best in Your Wife: Encourage Your Spouse and Experience the Relationship You've Always Wanted

by H. Norman Wright

Most "relationship books" are written for women, but women aren't the only ones who want happy, enduring marriages. Bringing Out the Best in Your Wife is written with men in mind, men who want to build satisfying relationships but just aren't sure how. The secret, Dr. H. Norman Wright reveals, is mutual affirmation. But first, husbands have to understand that women receive respect and encouragement differently than men. When husbands discover how to speak the language of love their wives understand, relationships are taken to a whole new level. Dr. Wright lays out biblical and practical ways husbands can bring out the best in their wives. Readers will find firsthand testimonies from men just like them, who share the daily frustrations of living with a person so different from themselves. They may also be surprised by what they learn about women from the personal stories told by wives striving to make their marriages work. Each step toward a healthy, satisfying relationship is presented with a real-life situation that men will find immediately familiar. And as readers take each successive step, they will see the positive impact that encouragement, prayer, romance, and inspiration have on the marriage they've always wanted.

[Kyle · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am focusing on encouraging others this year, so I picked up a copy of “Bringing Out the Best in Your Wife: Encourage Your Spouse and Experience the Relationship You've Always Wanted”. Overall, I enjoyed the book, and picked up a few good things to incorporate into the encouragement of my bride. I found much of the short book to be anecdotal experience from a variety of men talking about what they do for their wives and women talking about what their husbands do for them. Again, some of these snippets provide some ideas, but I found them to be a bit scattered and repetitive. I would rather the author pick out a few key themes and elements and use the first-person narratives to provide a real-world example of the point he was trying to make.

Надто багато сексизму і однозначних та "правильних", на думку автора, порад. Багато роздратування під час читання. Книга для жінок такої ж якості як і ця. Збережіть свій час і краще запросіть дружину на побачення або у кіно.
