This began as a very eye-opening book--it presented some things I never in a million years realized about my husband. By about mid-book, however, I began to get REALLY TICKED OFF. Yes, it is my duty and honor as a wife to make my husband happy. I don't care what Leman says, however, I do not have to be his sexual slave and perform a sexual revolution in my home on a weekly basis just to please my husband. What offended me the most? Probably when he said in essence, "I know some nights you're really tired and sex is the last thing you want to involve yourself with so give your husband a hand job, you'll only have to lay there and it will feel incredible to him." I'm sorry, but I don't buy into his notion that men must have sex three to five nights a week or they will cheat on their wives. Grow up, be a big boy and get over it!
Then there was the astonishingly cruel diatribe with his wife. Leman was saying women "SHOULD" on their husbands to much and to prove his point he went into this story about his wife Sande and he visiting a restaurant in which he always orders the same thing. She politely said, "You should try something different." And his reply? "Or maybe I should try out a new wife!" COME ON! The poor woman must have felt horrible, but yes, Leman, I'm sure she got your big, egotistical point.
Oh, and let's not forget his joking around with Moonhead about "committing adultery" because he couldn't take his eyes off some chick at a football game. Haha. That was hilarious. His wife must be Mother Theresa.
Yes, I believe him that men NEED sex to feel loved, just as women need affection and caring and sex to feel loved. But unlike his list of "must dos", I refuse to meet my husband at the end of our driveway without any clothes on, I don't think taking naked photos of myself and putting them in his briefcase is necessary, and rather than "exploring ideas outside of my sexual comfort zone" I think I'll do what I feel is right, not what some man's unrealistic fantasies dictate. I can't believe this book--it's clear he feels women are around to please, care for and obey. And that's it. I'm a mother, I have my own career and I have a dynamite sex life, without feeling I need to be my husband's personal sex slave.
So Kevin Leman, I love your views on parenting, daddy's an daughters and raising boys, but I think I'll stick to my own views on sex in my marriage. And as for the hand jobs ... God gave you hands of your own. Have at it!

I just can't believe I made it through so much of life without reading this book. It has made such a difference in my life that I've ordered an additional 7 copies. One for each of the women in my family! May God bless Kevin for sharing this information and understanding and may He bless everyone that reads it with new love for the strange people He created - MEN!!

Loved this book. My wife saw the author on a christian talk show and the author sold her. He was very funny and serious at the same time. She ordered it but I also read it.
We both loved the book for different reasons. She loved it because it helped her to understand some of the things about me that she did not learn about men due to an absence father. However, I learned somethings about loving and being married to a woman who had an absent father. Dr. Leman had us both laughing about ourselves because he shares both sides. It helped us both understand each other in a different light and why we are so different yet that it's possible to live in the same house. We read Mars and Venus and this would be similar only with a christian twist. It's a must read. Our favorite part was when Dr.Lehman asked his wife if she wanted to know how to make a "Happy Husband" you will have to read the book to find out her answer. My wife and I refer to this point often it is a good tension breaker if nothing but a laugh. It has great points and advice even for single and divorced women. It is worth reading.
