What Makes a Man Feel Loved Mass Market Paperback – July 1, 2019

I've gotten and at least started reading a number of these, "how to be a great wife" type books before and never seemed to finish them. I really wanted something to help me understand the way a man things so I can do my best to lift him up and encourage him to be the best man God has for him. This book does wonderfully! I could barely put it down. The advice and insights are great and eye opening. I tried many of the ideas with my husband (without him knowing of course) and could see the way he would light up as my actions or reactions supported him and encouraged him as a man. :) Great book!

I used this book to teach a women's class at my church: "Understanding and Loving Our Husbands." Each week the women would read one or two assigned chapters and choose at least one of the suggested loving activities to do. After a few weeks, one woman said, "In fifty years of marriage I've never been so pampered and loved!" Another woman said, "I put a note in my husband's lunch telling him I loved him. He called me from work and said it 'melted him'." It was always amazing to see the effect these simple expressions of love had on the husbands.

The book I ordered was in much better condition than I expected for being a used book. Very pleased. Thank you.

This was a refreshing addition to my library of marriage books. I think part of the reason it was refreshing is because it's primarily written from a man's perspective - who better to know what makes a man feel loved than a man, right? Mr. Barnes was able to deliver his key points with gentle strength and authority (in contrast to a lot of the marriage books I've read where I feel like I've been punched in the gut). I was really able to slow down with this book, chewing on each bit of information and incorporating his recommended ideas into my daily walk with God. The concepts he presents in this book are in opposition of what the world says about how women should be (thank God!). It's serves as a great reminder that embracing our God-designed femininity doesn't mean being weak or being a doormat. I don't have to strive to have or be everything; instead I can embrace the fact that God's design for me is enough and God is everything. I recommend this to any married or engaged woman as well as their spouses (husbands can benefit from a Mr. Barnes' perspective on what to expect and strive for in a God-centered marriage).

I bought a book.

y’all are amazing. keep it up

I think I threw it out in less than a week. Boring and it being written by a man I just didn't like it. It was condescending and juvenile.

It is a good book that provides the insight that it promices to, and is soundly based on scripture.
