Winning Your Husband Back Before It's Too Late: Whether He's Left Physically or Emotionally, All That Matters Is...

Rating:
Summary: Helpful, but should be 2nd!
Review: First, the title of the book does not describe the contents. It should be titled "keeping the husband you have."
2nd: Please DO NOT READ THIS BOOK FIRST if your husband has left you. Please read "Love Must be Tough" by Dr. James Dobson. The contents of Winning Your Husband contains the first steps of when your husband leaves, but it is on the 2nd to LAST Page!

Summary: Written in everyday language so even I could understand.
Review: I am still reading this book and am amazed at the insight and practical help it offers. I wish I knew about this book several months ago. Drs. Smalley don't pull any punches about what is right and they also show a compassionate understanding of the heart wrenching mess one's marriage can become. This is definitely a book that I will need to read many times and put into practice the suggestions they offer. Truly, change has to come from within and however our spouse chooses to respond is out of our control. We can only change the things we have control over and have to trust God with the rest. That is a hard concept to understand in our society.

Summary: Very, very practical
Review: The courageous stories of women in this book inspired me to read it in one sitting! It takes a lot of courage to "win your husband back" because I believe it was too late for us! This book offers the "hope" you need to not give up! Life is hard enough with all it's challenges but this book really gave me hands on ideas that work!

Summary: Bible-beating hogwash!!
Review: There isn't anything in this world that would entice me to be anything but equal to my husband. This book not only encourages women to become submissive to their husbands, but it essentially tells them that they would have to in order to save their marriages. It tells women that they, and only they, are responsible for the condition, and ultimately the repair, of their marriages, and that their husbands are essentially blameless. It also tells women that they shouldn't expect be very high on their husband's list of priorities because God doesn't want it that way. According to this book, the only way to save your marriage is to change absolutely everything about yourself in order to become what the Bible (a book written by men!) says you should be. Hogwash! I resented just about every piece of advice in this book, and I don't know how to follow this advice without losing all my self-respect and dignity in the process. I love my husband very much, but he could never respect the person this book wants me to be, and neither could I.

Summary: PUTRID
Review: This book is terrible. I wish people (women in general) would ditch the atiquated, sexist and misogynistic teachings of the bible (and most religions) as they do more harm than good. A friend was given this book after her marriage failed (he ran off with an uneducated 18 yr old) and she called me crying because she thought that maybe if she was a stupid, submissive sex toy with no will of her own, her marriage would still be intact. Surely not! I read the book and was appalled. Then I thought, why am I surprised? This is written by an old fart with archaeic values that no longer hold true. Relax, ladies. Most of these types of people will be dead in 20 or 30 years and the world will be a better place. Live your life well, make smart decisions, stay away from anything that causes harm and be good to others. Everthing will be allright, I promise you.

Side note: My friend remarried a wonderful man who isn't threatend by a smart, independent free thinking woman. He doesn't want her to be anything but who she is. Yes, those men do exist (and they're not ninnies).

Summary: A Faith Filled Must Read!
Review: This book offers a Faith centered approach to winning your husband back, by first looking to yourself and the Lord for change. It offers support, suggestions to reach your husband, and hope for your future, with or without him. I would recommend this book to anyone whose been left by their spouse or just feels the distance.
