My Thoughts:

I put this book into practice right off the bat! It was actually bit humorous at first, but somewhat effective. I sat down with my husband and started reading the words of affirmation - "I love what you build with your hands", "You are the best man I know", "I need you", "I'm sticking with you when everything falls apart". The kids were kind of laughing and hating all the "mushy" stuff. And some of it was kind of awkward actually, so yes, this is going to take some practice. But it was fun and interesting to see his reactions.

Ok... So I know that wasn't exactly how this book was designed to be used. It has a new phrase on each page. Each page also includes a short story to go with the phrase. Most of the stories are personal experiences the author and her husband and family have gone through. They included things he had done for her, ways he may have defended her, protected her, laughed with her. She reminds us in these tales to encourage our men, our husbands; to build them up instead of tearing them down.

I can definitely learn a lot from this book. I would definitely recommend it.
