Customer Reviews

worth reading

Although this is an older book the topic it addresses is still totally relevant. there are still plenty of guys who need to know what happens when you ignore your wife's needs for too long and how to attempt healing and recovery of lost intimacy.

Great Book- Sad Ending

I remember reading this book in the early 1990's and learning life lessons from Pat that literally saved my marriage. Although most "self-help" books manage to make everything into a formula to follow, Pat does a great job of showing that persistence and consitency are the keys to taking a damaged relationship to a fufilling relationship where healing and restoration are found in the midst of a relationship with Jesus Christ. Wonderful pattern for all readers to follow! Unfortunately, after this book was published, Pat and Jill seperated and finally divorced. According to Pat's autobiography, Jill was unable to overcome all that had happened in their marriage. The pressure of raising so many children and living in the limelight of the NBA was difficult for their marriage to overcome. Therefore, I recommend that the reader stay focused, persistent, and consistent in the battle to save your marriage. Just because Pat and Jill were not successful, be encouraged! God and you can do it!

IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Someone once said that "no other success can compensate for failure in the home." And this book gives one concrete example of that principle.Pat, a very successful husband and father, was a failure at home, until he nearly lost his family. This story can help any person to see the importance of the family, and the marriage relationship in particular, before it is too late.--George Stancliffe

The most life-changing book I've ever read

Pat Williams touches on nearly every husband in America ... good intentions but failing at the point of most importance -- The Home. He showed how that through prayer and patience, he won back the one thing he thought he'd lost forever. Although his wife wasn't receptive at first, the power of prayer and persistance finally broke through. A definate encouragement to those husbands who, like me, have unintentionally alienated our wives.

A very very good book.

This book is very good, I found chapter 1 and 10-14 very informative and pertinent to my situation. chapters 2-9 gives a lot of background that led up to the big crisis. Later on I will let your readers know if it will work in my situation. Husbands need to know this and practice this ahead of time to avoid these kind of major crisis. Too bad we husbands are slow learners when it comes to our own wives...
