Speak Your Husband's Language

"How to Get Your Husband to Talk to You" is one of the most helpful marriage books I've ever read. It gives practical advice you can use to immediately change your relationship. Even if you have no problems in the area of communication, the sage advice will teach you a lot about how to be even happier in your marriage. Each chapter is only two to three pages long so you can read a few chapters a day while putting relevant ideas into practice. While this is written for Christian women, the advice will work no matter what you believe. This book will work best for women who have a dominant feminine energy who are married to men with a dominant male energy. This book also works best when you jot down notes while you are reading and put the advice into practice over one to two weeks. What I appreciated most about this book is how it gives a woman full control over her destiny. The idea about taking out the garbage (instead of nagging) is worth the price of the book and will solve many arguments. I now take out the garbage when I go to get the mail and there are no more arguments. My only complaint is that the authors didn't give ideas on what a husband could do instead of jobs he hates. In my marriage we each have jobs to make things fair. The chapters on being a better listener are also life changing. All I can say is that communication is essential if you want to stay married and this book will give you the tools to take charge of your married life.

How to Get Your Husband to Talk to You

Great book! The viewpoints are so true to real life communication between husand / wife, male / female. I refer to it all the time now. I purchased copy for a girlfriend and have also recommended to several others.

Very Highly Recommended

This book is invaluable. I learned more about myself from this book than any other book I have ever read. The book encourages women to look at their own behaviors first and the rest (getting your husband to talk to you) will follow. A must have! I wish I had had this book many years ago...it would have saved me much frustration.

This book completely opened my eyes!

I was very hesitant to order this book being that my husband and I do "talk". However, I felt as if we had not have a normal conversation like when people date. We didn't talk about goals, interests, feelings, or anything else that came from the heart. We were merely exchanging essential information, such as, "Please pick up milk on your way home", or "What time will you be home?". I began to wonder why we were even together because although I wasn't unhappy, I was not truly happy. Little things got in the way like he wouldn't remember to take out the garbage, or he would forget birthdays, but yet he could remember very insignificant things that had nothing to do with him or myself. Upon receiving this book I felt like I finally had an answer, a complete answer. Most of the things discussed in this book can be found elsewhere, but only in bits and pieces. Why not get the whole solution, and from a Christian perspective? If you employ these solutions to your real problems, whether big or small, your relationship can turn around like magic!

For any women that want to really undersand and man, keep him happy and interested, this is the real owner's manual for men. This has all the stuff men think and feel but never communicate well to women. If you want to understand your man, read this book!
