Through a Man's Eyes by Shaunti Feldhahn & Craig Gross

 

   I have some good news. Males, we are normal. There is nothing wrong with us When it comes to our response to a female, we are normal. Our response to the sight of a female is wired into us.

   We are different from a female. Despite what you have been told by the media, it has always been this way. Males are not broken or obsessed. Males are visual and see the world through the prism of sight. They live in a culture filled with many images that are best kept for private viewing.

   So men, have you wished there was a book you could give to your girlfriend or wife that would help them understand you when it comes to your visual nature? Here it is.

   It is published by Multnomah Press so it is sound. There is no weird off the wall details to cloud the issue.

   Each chapter examines the unique wiring nature of the male as a diamond appraiser would the diamond.

   This book is subtitled helping Women Understand the Visual Nature of Men. It does a good job.

   As it is written for the female to better understand her man It is suggested the man read this book first and then give it to his wife to read. After this, not before, you can have your discussion.

I highly recommend this book for that pre-marital session.

The Surpirsing Secrets of Highly, Happy Marriages by Shaunti Feldhahn

                There are secrets to a happy marriage. Each action is doable and easy, if you decide to do them. They are not hidden. That said, this may be the book you are looking for if you want to know how to have a happy marriage.

                This book is somewhat different from other marriage and relationship books. You won’t find a prescribed formula to patch up something broken. What you will find is the results of a rigorous survey done by Feldhahn. She took a group of married people and had them fill out a satisfaction survey. From the responses she has divided the responses into three subgroups. The three groups are: highly happy couples, mostly happy couples, and the so-so or struggling couples.

                She asked “Are you generally happy and enjoying being married?”

                There are 14 chapters, the first and the last bookending the responses.

                An example is anger- should you do as the Bible infers and not go to bed with unresolved anger? Feldhahn has discovered that a good night’s sleep can resolve or clarify the situation. She presents the results on a chart showing the three groups and how they responded.

                She does that with each response to the factors covered in the survey.

                I found this book to be informative and helpful. It is definitely a book that should be read by all married people. It will give them some ideas on how they can turn their marriage from a happy marriage to the next level, a highly happy marriage.

                This book was sent to me free to be reviewed as part of the blog reviewers for Multnomah publishers and as such I was not required to give a positive review. All viewpoints expressed are those of the reviewer and not of the publisher.
