I'm about to celebrate my 2nd anniversary and I wish I would've read this book before we got married. I learned so much about my husband and how the mind of a man works. This book was such an easy read, I couldn't put it down. I couldn't wait to learn more about my husband and how I could become the woman of his dreams. My husband sees a difference in me and our marriage couldn't be better. He is reading "Becoming a Godly Husband" and I can see the difference in him as well! I recommend reading both of these books to all couples. It inspired me to be the wife that I have always pictured myself as. :)

I read this book while my husband and I were on our honeymoon on the beach, and I felt SO encouraged. It gave me godly advice (along with scripture and real-life interviews with husbands about their needs) that made me excited to get back home and begin being the woman of my husband's dreams. We had been so busy and distracted with planning the wedding, but this helped me to get my focus and priorities back. A must read for engaged or newly married women!!

Sharon Jaynes does an excellent job of presenting information about what men really want in a marriage. She did a simple survey with hundreds of men and shares her discoveries in this book. What I enjoyed was that she gave stories of various women who either excelled in one of the seven qualities or was an example of what not to do. Although she occasionally gave a list of "25 ways to show respect" for example, I didn't feel overwhelmed by a to do list. I think Jaynes communicates in a manner that stresses the importance of the relationship with your husband. Sharon Jaynes made a simple statement near the end of the book that could save a lot of marriages. She wrote, "It all goes back to why we want to become the woman of his dreams. Is it to give or to get?" Just keeping or re-gaining the perspective that it is possible for me to be the woman of my husband's dreams and experience the joy of a vibrant relationship with the man I married is liberating. He didn't choose me to compete with, but rather to complete him.
