[lancers1990]

"His Needs, Her Needs"
"The Power of a Praying Husband"
"The Power of a Praying Wife"
"Sheet music" by Kevin Leman

I've read Power of a Praying Husband. It was okay. I've spoken to people who've read Power of a Praying Wife, and I'm convinced that Stormie Omartian is playing the men. When you compare both of the books, it's as though she's talking out of both sides of her mouth just to please the reader.

I haven't read the Power of a praying husband, but I have for the wife, and I think it's a great book. More than anything, if it has you praying for your spouse, I think it's worth it!!

I've read 3 out of the 5 listed and would include "Sacred Marriage" and "Intimate Issues".

 

[Southern Cross]

One of the best books I've read is Wild At Heart, by John Eldridge. Ladies, if you've got a guy who yearns for adventure or seems unsatisfied with life, read this book. It will help you understand your man. Men - good stuff in there about why you want more adventure and challenges and how your wife views you as her husband.

It's not a marriage oriented book, per say. It's about life in general. It's helped me figure out some things in life I was struggling with, as well as scores of men in my church. Sometimes the best reading to improve your marriage are books that help you understand yourself as a person. It's definitely not a flowery book on how to live life.

I'd add the bible to that list!

Wild at Heart - great book if you realize John is a counselor and not a theologian. And if you can get past his (I'm sure unintended) implication that you have to be somewhat macho or outdoorsy to really be a man. He clears that up in the last few chapters, but the image of the early part of the book can last. Those are nit picks, I know. But I've seen to many men get hooked on the early chapter imagery and miss the real message.

The Five Love Languages is the only reason my husband and I are still married. Without this book I wouldn't have a clue.
