Product Description

He's walked out and she still wants him back. Thousands of discouraged and hurting women ask, "Is there anything I can do to win my husband back?" Though there are plenty of books on divorce, few talk about what it takes to initiate a reconciliation. Gary Smalley and Dr. Greg Smalley offer women a biblically based strategy for winning back their mate.

Included is an appendix of additional resources on organizations, counseling centers, video series, and books that have proven particularly helpful in this situation. Full of practical advice and realistic encouragement, Winning Your Husband Back can help heal a marriage. And whether the marriage is healed or not, the ideas will also help readers become responsible for their own choices and draw nearer to God.

Not useful
If you are looking for general advice on how to win your husband back, this book will not help you or give you any good advice. I only made it through the first couple of chapters and had to stop because it was totally based on religion and God (included bible verses). There was nothing in that book that was useful to me. I could not relate to any of the advice given. The book suggests that if you turn to God, your relationship will miraculously turn itself around. If you are looking for solid, down-to-earth advice, I would suggest Relationship Rescue by Phillip C. McGraw or How One of You Can Bring the Two of You Together by Susan Page. I found those two books very helpful.

Very helpful
I found this book to be very helpful and encouraging to me. I am currently separated from my husband and I am desperately trying to put the pieces back together again. This book is specific on areas a wife can do to change her behavior towards her husband. Although it takes two to make a marriage/seperation, I have found that what I say and how I say it really helps in bringing us closer. Gary Smalley has always been so great at the marital relationship and this was no exception.

Should do more reading before making a judgment
The next three reviewers paint quite an unfair picture of this book as well as the author. One reviewer ends her comments by asking if the author has written a book to men challenging them to treat their wives right. She said, "didn't think so." Well that is plain wrong. He did write a book to men which was much more challenging to men than his advice to women. It's called "If Only He Knew: What No Woman Can Resist" and you can find it here on amazon. In that book (which the reviewer has obviously not read) he tells the husbands that they are the ones ultimately responsible for trouble in their marriages. He says "if after 5 years of marriage there are still unresolved issues that he hasn't address, then it falls squarely on the HUSBAND's shoulders." How is that for responsibility? There was no blame on the wife... If you read both (all) of the author's books you will see he teaches a very consistent view of marriage and the husband/wife roles. However, if you only read one book with your own agenda, you will not present a fair evaluation of this book or any book for that matter. Ladies, this book will help you in your marriage. While you are at it, pick up the other book for your husband. :)
