The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands
Man, I am so loath to admit this.....I really really hate Dr. Laura Schlessinger, I mean I really don't like her. BUT. My husband recommended her book, The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, so I went to the library and checked it out and read it all in one sitting because I love him and he suggested it.
Wow. It was really good. And really helpful. It basically gave me the slap upside the head I needed to completely change my perspective on the marriage dynamic.
I know I'm going to do a terrible job of synopsis, but bear with me. Basically, the more affection, admiration, and treating him like the man that he is makes all the difference and brings bountiful returns. Instead of seeing all our problems as caused by him, I had to take a good long look at what my behavior was like. Men are simple, it's just how they're wired. Show them you are proud of them and honor them, and they will bring the moon back to you on a popsicle stick.
Great book.
Blessings,
