Nichole, I agree about the practical help. It’s funny to read about small things that never would have occurred to me, that might be so important to him.

I just read this book this past summer and it was so helpful. The best part to me was the practical definitions of what respect looks like. I’ve always agreed in principle that I should respect my husband, but not known what that looks like in day to day activity.

When I’m not trying to love my kids and respect my husband, or perhaps while I’m doing that, I’m also blogging about Jesus in my everyday at: http://burningbushes.org/

Christie, I love the idea of reading this aloud! But you’re right, comments could derail things

Lori, I’ll say it again, I HIGHLY recommend it. I recently started reading their second book on communication– check that one out, too!

Thanks for your post on this. I have been wondering for a few years whether or not to get it. It sounds great.

This book made a difference in my life too! I also had never thought about how I might seem disrespectful to my husband and the damage that I was doing.
My husband doesn’t really like to read books so I actually read the chapters aloud for him….without stopping to make comments. It would have done more damage than good to make comments like “see, I have been trying to tell you this for a long time” or “gee, like you are going to change your ways now”. If you decide to read aloud, DO NOT make comments. Just read and let him absorb the info.
Be blessed!
