Thirty Nights with a Highland Husband (The Daughters of the Glen, Book 1) 41 reviews
Melissa Mayhue
Pocket, 2007
Fantastic Read
Having recently discovered and devoured Karen Marie Moning's books I went looking for something else in the genre and found Melissa Mayhue's wonderful series. Thirty Nights with a Highland Husband was enough to get me addicted to Ms Mayhue's writing, as her gifted storytelling carries us through time and place with strong characters, romance and of course the Fae! A must read for anyone who ...

Husband-Coached Childbirth (Fifth Edition): The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth90 reviews
Robert A. Bradley, Marjie Hathaway, ...
Bantam, 2008
Great read to prep for childbirth
I didn't take any classes for childbirth, although I would have loved to have taken a Bradley method class.
I did not end up doing the natural method. A scene from the movie, Knocked Up, scared me about 3 weeks before due date, so I opted for the epidural.
My epidural did not take however, so I was very happy that I had some preparation with this book. The mentality described gives you ...

Have a New Husband by Friday: How to Change His Attitude, Behavior & Communication in 5 Days23 reviews
Kevin Leman
Revell, 2009
What a change in my husband!!
I LOVED this practical, simple book. I tried the techniques on my husband and what a difference! This book is a great reminder to us about what is important to our husbands...something I am likely to forget when I want to treat him like my girlfriend and not my husband.
I followed Dr. Leman's advice and asked my husband about his childhood memories. My usually quiet husband suddenly ...

Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son29 reviews
Michael Chabon
Harper, 2009
Manhood for Amateurs
Michael Chabon's newest book, //Manhood for Amateurs//, is a departure for the Pulitzer Prize winner. Unlike his previous works, //Manhood for Amateurs// is not a piece of surreal fiction, but a collection of short autobiographical stories. Regardless of the new venue Chabon's ability to weave achingly wonderful and melancholy pictures with his prose remains. The subtitle of this collection is ...

Finding the Hero in Your Husband: Surrendering the Way God Intended17 reviews
Julianna Slattery
Faith Communications, 2004
Provides great insight and understanding!
I'm currently reading this book, and it is helping me to better understand the way God intended marriage to be. Having grown up in the 70s, I was heavily influenced by the "Women's Liberation" movement and taught to be a self-sufficient, independent woman. This book does a good job of explaining how a woman can be powerful and influential in her marriage in a way that supports her husband rather ...

The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands163 reviews
Laura Schlessinger
Harper Paperbacks, 2006
Works for me after nearly 11 years of marriage!
I'm one of those wives who wants nothing more than for a happy, comfortable marriage. I don't want drama, I want to be loved and if acknowledging that most men agree with the statement "If I'm not horny, make me a sandwich" makes me happily married, then so be it! This is not a book for a feminist who thinks marriage is for convenience only. Dr. Laura teaches that men are simple (boy are ...

Why My Third Husband Will Be A Dog: The Amazing Adventures of an Ordinary Woman82 reviews
Lisa Scottoline
St. Martin's Press, 2009
Ladies: Get thee to the nearest dog shelter ...
Usually I need prescription drugs to get me through a day of airports and flying but not this time! And good thing the airline didn't provide peanuts during the flight because I'd probably have blown them out of my nose while laughing. (Although people were suspicious of my spontaneous laughter ... who laughs on planes anymore?)
An artful blend of zany, bittersweet, and insightful essays. And ...

Voice, 2009
Heartbreaking Story
I read alot of memoirs, they are my favorite to read. I thought this book was well written and the story very moving and would recommend it to anyone for reading. Even though I have read many books since reading this one, I still think about how I would feel if I found out my husband had been having an affair and I found out about it after he had died. Closure would be hard to find after ...

The Husband Tree (Montana Marriages, Book 2) 11 reviews
Mary Connealy
Barbour Publishing, Inc, 2010
Another hit for Mary Connealy!
This novel is another hit for Christian author Mary Connealy. Anyone who has read her books before knows that when you pick up a new one, you are in for a treat. The Husband Tree is delightful as well as insightful and even had me laughing when Belle has to bury yet another "worthless" husband beneath the Husband Tree and she can't remember if she'd already buried one in that spot or not. The ...

Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God: What Every Christian Husband Needs to Know8 reviews
C. J. Mahaney
Crossway Books, 2004
A bit disappointed
All of the things the other reviewers say about this book are true. It's worth having and gives a Biblically-based view of what marriage is supposed to be about. Mahaney goes to the Song of Solomon to show that God designed sex to be enjoyed--delighted in--within the context of marriage and give several suggestions as to how a man can help to keep that spark in the marriage and the bedroom.

My Husband's Affair Became the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me37 reviews
Anne Bercht
Trafford Publishing, 2004
Huge help!
I bought this book a little over a year after discovering my husband's affair, and I wish I found it earlier when I was feeling a lot of the same feelings Anne was feeling shortly after the discovery. I feel that by reading this book I was connecting to someone who knows exactly how I was feeling. I would highly recommend this book to anyone going through a marital affair.

My Husband loves it!!!!
Originally I thought this book would be similar to the "The Power of a Praying Wife", but after realized that this format was much better because he does not like to read, and it is short and to the point.
