MARRIAGE BUILDING PRINCIPLES FOR THE HUSBAND How to drive your wife away without even trying Where have all the feelings gone? If your wife doesn't win first place, you lose! Your wife needs your shoulder, not your mouth Climbingout of marriage's deepest pit What no woman can resist What women admire most about men If your wife's not protected, you get neglected Arguments . . . there's a better way A successful marriage . . . it's easier than you think So you want a perfect wife Watch out! It can happen to you MARRIAGE BUILDING PRINCIPLES FOR THE WIFE Lasting relationships don't just happen Eight ways husbands hurt their wives The hidden reasons men act the way they do Helping your husband become more sensitive Motivating your husband to listen to you Motivating your husband to change How to increase your husband's desire to spend quality time with you How to gain your husband's undivided attention on a consistent basis How to increase your husband's sensitivity to your emotional needs and desires How to gain your husband's comfort and understanding instead of lectures and criticism How to motivate your husband to receive your correction without defensiveness How to gain your husband's appreciation and praise How to help your husband share responsibility for your children and the household needs How to motivate your husband to meet your material needs How to increase and deepen your husband's affection for you.
All too often, people marry before acquiring the knowledge and skills necessary to take care of their mates: to meet their emotional, mental, and physical needs. One of the ironies in our society is that a person has to have four years of training to receive a plumber's license, but absolutely no training is required for a marriage license. Our educational system doesn't even require communication courses basic to the meaningful development of any relationship. As a result, many men and women enter marriage with virtually no knowledge of how to meet the basic emotional and mental needs of their mates. I believe only (genuine love) provides an adequate foundation for a secure relationship . . . It means, "I see a need in you. Let me have the privilege of meeting it." Instead of taking for itself, genuine love gives to others. It motivates us to help others reach their full potential. ~ Back cover.
