Gary Smalley explains what motivates men and how women can use their natural attractive qualities to build a better marriage. He helps women understand not only the way men think, but also how to move a man's heart. Using case histories and biblical illustrations, he addresses with empathy, humor, and wisdom every practical and emotional problem a woman can face in her marriage.

Format:Paperback
The book has some interesting (biblically based) insights on how to improve your marriage that are not totally without merit. As a Full-time employee, wife, and mother I found some of the ideas a bit too old fashioned. It seemed like the author was basing his book on the fact that most women are stay at home wives and mothers. I couldn't relate to much of what it had to offer because of that.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I found the content of this book to be completely appalling. To me, the book suggested ways to "manipulate" your spouse by couching it in terms of "salting" to get what you want. Shameful. There are too many other books available to help strengthen marriages without learning to manipulate your spouse. I would never recommend this book to anyone. If you want a good book to help strengthen a marriage, try "What Every Woman Desires" instead.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
My husband bought this book and its companion, If He Only Knew, since we need to work on strengthening our marriange. I was glad that he took the initiative and was eager to read the book, but I found myself a bit disappointed by the content. While the basic concepts seem good, I found the examples and suggestions to be rather outdated. It was originally published in 1979, and, despite some revisions, seems to belong to a different time -- that of 25 years ago. The book seemed to lean too much toward the idea of the wife being submissive to her husband, and encourages her to look nice and greet him with a smile when he comes home from work, which sounds very much like the Home Economics textbooks from the 1950s. I feel that the author's suggestions do not really speak to me in today's world.
