What Makes a Man Feel Loved: Understanding What Your Husband Really Wants

I'm a guy. My fiancee asked my to read this book and leave notes in it for her to look into and so she would be a better wife to me. Frankly I was amazed. I couldn't put the book down. It just spoke to me so personally. I kept finding myself saying, "yeah, that's me." To say the least the book is not filled with pen markings and scribbles. While I don't agree with everything he said -of course every guy is going to be different- I did find myself wanting a wife like the one Barns suggests his readers become. It is an excellent book. Should be a must read for every Christian wife. *note: if you are not a Christian than some of the topics may seem unimportant or even confusing to you. However, don't worry too much, this is not an intro to Christianity and he soon gets to some more practical things.

I think this was a fantastic book for every wife out there that wants to love, encourage, and motivate her husband. It has Christian-based principles, which I love. Nothing in here is too hard to do. Bob Barnes shows you how to express your appreciation, admiration, adoration, commitment, love, passion, and lust for yoru husband. It has some chapters based on other books, like His Needs, Her Needs. (Another awesome book!) This is truly a great book. Buy it now!

Despite what other reviewers have said, I did not, in any way, get the impression that Mr. Barnes was suggesting that women should be a man's maid or that they cannot succeed in a career. Rather, he is suggesting that we all, men and women, use the Bible as our guide in our relationships. He suggests that we both look in ourselves for our individual strengths and weaknesses and rather than compete with each other, we should compliment each other. We should also work to make our relationship with our spouse the biggest priority in our lives, above careers, other interests, etc. Too often we allow outside interests and influences distract us from our true beliefs and values. I am a computer consultant, mother and wife and found this book to be truly enriching and inspiring. If you want to be married for the next 50 years, and are willing to follow the Bible, this is the book for you!

It is very encouraging for any wife who truly want to know and please her man. The suggestions are practical and easy. You will also learn alot about yourself. This book along with the Power of the Praying Wife should be in every married woman's arsenal.

What Makes a Man Feel Loved is a must-have for wives. This book truly changed my attitude toward my marriage and my husband. Bob Barnes lays the facts out about how we should treat our husbands if we are truly Christians. I gave my copy of the book to a friend who was having a rocky period in her marriage & bought another copy. I continue to go back and refer to the book. Just this week, I took it out and am reviewing it. Get this book whether you have potholes in the road of your marriage or not -- it will change your life.
