Book 22: 21 Days to Loving Your Husband
by Melinda Borda and Carrie Martin-Vegue
I am beyond thankful for my husband. We've been married almost 18 years and with the 2 years of dating we've been together at this point for 20 years. I can't imagine life without him. This year has been perhaps the hardest one we've had, not relationship wise, but stress wise. We've had countless house issues, vehicle issues and our son in particular has had countless injuries this year. It's been rough, but with God's ultimate hand of peace and love, we've weathered the storms that have been thrown at us, and drawn in many ways closer together.
When I started reading this book it was mainly because I figured having more tips on how to be a better wife certainly couldn't hurt. I'm not perfect, I get particularly fussy when things aren't in order, or going according to schedule. I'm working on it, but I want to also work on being the best wife I can be.
Here are some of the tips that I found helpful to consider in finding ways to love your husband more:
Spend 15 minutes to freshen yourself up and relax before he comes home from work. Use the time you're brushing your hair, fixing make up or changing into something that doesn't look like you just did a cleaning marathon to spend sometime praying for him, and for a good attitude. If you're relaxed you are more likely to set a good tone in the household.
Each man is different. Discover what helps your husband unwind after work, and give him time to do that.
Take issues to God, not your girlfriends when they arise.
Watch your tone. You're not his mother, but his spouse.
There were many other great tips and suggestions and this book only took a few minutes each of the 21 days to read.
I'd give the book 5 stars.
