Even good marriages need to be strengthened. Based on many hours of counseling women, men and couples, this practical handbook gives husbands pertinent kernels of wisdom. Using real-life examples, the authors will help you show, not just “feel,” love for your wife. Daily suggestions give you fresh, creative ways to express your love to your wife one day at a time. There are over seventy different topics, each accompanied by five specific ways to bless your wife in what you say and do. These 365 “blessings” are designed as practical applications to help meet your wife’s physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
“Throughout the Bible, God uses the act of blessings to restore hope and life. A blessing is any good gift that gives a positive benefit.” (Page xiii)
“As a husband, your intent must be to show your wife the full extent of Christ’s love.” (Page xvi)
“The point is that, as God is in the blessing business (Hebrews 6:14). so He wants us to be in the blessing business. And if so … if we are to bless even those who curse us and persecute us (Luke 6:28; Romans 12:14; 1 Corinthians 4:12), how much more ought we to bless those we love most!” (Page xi)
“When God asks you to accomplish something, He also promises to help you accomplish it.” (Page xiv)
“Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at first.’” (Page ix)
Two things Glenn and Jennifer don’t tell you about this little book. First, if you will follow it for even six to eight weeks, it will become habitual. And, when that happens, your marriage will be enriched immensely in an ongoing and cumulative way. Second, as you bless your wife, you’ll learn to bless additional persons, enriching other relationships. And, third, as your bless your wife, guess who also gets blessed? That’s right, you!
