The children will be blessed from watching your example of marriage.<br /><br />I feel guilty also sleeping in and going to the beach with the kiddos.

After realizing how unlikely that would be and how much our marriage is in need of a tune-up I bought this book with the intention of giving it to ourselves as a gift. <br /><br />After your review I am even more convinced that this will be better for our marriage than a trip to Hawaii!<br /><br />P.S. I read the "Created to Be His Helpmeet" too and was that ever a challenge to my mode of operation! I still don't take over mowing so he can go fishing on Saturday but I do try to implement some of the suggestions in this book.queen of the castlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01380202178477553248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-29413586595195137402009-06-24T20:40:30.146-05:002009-06-24T20:40:30.146-05:00This sounds like a great book.

It's good to read these books over again every once in awhile, because I tend to slip back into my old ways now and then. I mean, really, 14 years of bad habits are hard to break!<br /><br />Once you're into this kind of thinking, it is amazing to see how our culture/society has trained us to be the women who wear the pants in the house! I gladly gave them back to my husband. He looks much better in them than I do:)<br /><br />God Bless.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869227734763516464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-54540633414526335022009-06-24T18:42:18.299-05:002009-06-24T18:42:18.299-05:00What a blessed and loving home you have!

We also jotted the title down after John and Anne's suggesting it last year at the conference. I bought it a few months ago and we just haven't had the chance to get to it. We're hoping to read it simultaneously and discuss weekly together. Do you think it would work that way? what would you suggest if we are both committed to reading it at the same time? <br />Any way, I am so glad to read your review today. I'm even more excited to get started next week.

It is so good. And so true. The crazy cycle is spot on! And I agree with the importance of telling our husbands the different ways we appreciate what they do for us. They need to hear it. Just like we need to feel loved. Great review, Jamie! And thanks for your witness in how you are living this out in your marriage.

Just last night after I complained about our living arrangements etc., I looked back at him and apologized "because I know it's been hard on you to do this much for us - and it really is enough and very good; I appreciate you and love you very much." He just totally relaxed and allowed me to say sorry and all that gushy stuff. I think he was happier - and at rest with it. He always says, "I just want you to be happy." I do think he means it, but how can he really know unless I tell him?Sarah - Kalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877449375576975508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-77090755492720718512009-06-24T14:02:35.390-05:002009-06-24T14:02:35.390-05:00What a wonderful review?
