Bless Your Husband

by Angela Mills

[phyllish]

Practical advice from the Scriptures

My rating is 4.5 stars

Bless Your Husband is written as a multi-week challenge, requiring just a few minutes reading a day and a lifetime of change. My plan was to read through once, and then if the suggestions were useful, to go back from the beginning and actually go through the challenge day by day. So my review won’t talk about how this book changed my marriage for the simple reason that I haven’t implemented a single thing I read.

I liked the way the book was arranged. Being set up to only take a few minutes a day to figure out what can be done for the day is perfect for women with full schedules. Which is pretty much all of us, right? While the time required to read through daily is easy, the thoughts behind them are not. They are challenging. The Biblical principles are solid and the message is important. Don’t pick this up because you want to learn how to manipulate your husband. Or God. Or put on an act. Unless you approach it with a goal of changing your heart and your heart alone, you will have missed the point!

Not all of the recommendations will apply to every wife, nor could they. Some suggestions are specifically geared toward a stay-at-home wife, which I’m not. But there are plenty of other options that would work for me and my circumstances.

Am I glad I got this book? Yes. Will I actually go through the challenges? I hope to. Do I recommend it for other wives? Absolutely. May the Lord use this to transform my heart and my marriage and may He do the same for you.
