Oops! I Forgot My Wife: A Story of Commitment as Marriage and Self-Centeredness Collide

by Doyle Roth

A marriage book for folks that don't like marriage books! Through humor, biblical instruction and story, Oops! I Forgot My Wife helps facilitate the growth of healthy marriages. Written as an exchange of emails between a church elder and a young man whose marriage is crash landing, Oops! features short chapters that fit the busy pace of men's lives and a "straight-talk" style that hits the issues head on.

In addition, the Oops!
--Equip men to develop spiritual leadership in the home
--Encourage women to be godly wives
--Provide helpful resources for counseling, mentoring and group discussion
--Challenge marriages to face their #1 self-centeredness "Most of us men could use help with our marriages, but most of us have little patience for touchy-feely, psycho-babbly marriage books written in professional counseling language. Bravo to Doyle Roth, who in Oops! addresses us sorry husbands using his own cowboy wisdom and wit--loaded with ammunition to demolish male self-centeredness, yet still raw enough to engage the typical American male.

Not what I expected, but better. Not your "typical" book on marriage. Helps to know the author and his particular sense of humor. Many will like this book. Good one to suggest for any married person, but even better for men who are slowly (or quickly!) wrecking their marriages. Thanks Doyle for this.

I really enjoyed this book but it won't be for everyone. There are a lot of biblical references throughput the book and centres around the church and it's beliefs. The book is in the style of email correspondence between the main characters which won't be for everyone either but an excellent book for a book club as itemised many questions about the rights and wrongs of how we treat each other in marriage. Would definitely recommend this book.
