Not too long ago, I finished reading Surprising Secrets of Highly Happy Marriages by Shaunti Feldhahn. I highly recommend it.
In fact, if you’ve heard me give my Say Goodbye to Survival Mode presentation recently, you’ll remember that I read the Fantastic Five for Him from this book. I loved the five simple but highly impactful things Shaunti shares that wives can do to show their husbands they love him. And my husband (and other guys I’ve asked) have agreed that the list is spot on!
If you are married or planning to get married, do yourself a favor and get a copy of this well-researched book. It’s filled with encouragement and practical ideas on how to have a happier marriage.
Even if you don’t agree with everything in the book, I’m pretty positive it will make you step back and examine how your actions and attitudes toward your spouse.
Want a little sneak peek of some of the contents of this book? Watch this short video above that Shaunti recorded for my readers on the little things that make a big difference in a marriage.
Just submitted a “purchase suggestion” to my library!! Fingers crossed they get it in.
Yay!
Though I don’t care for the way she stereotypes genders (for example, I’d much prefer to hear a “thank you” from my husband than receive a hug or hand-holding…and I’m sure there are many men out there who prefer physical touch over words of appreciation). But I’m putting this on my to-read list anyway, I’ll just have to overlook the parts I disagree with
I bought her book, “For Women Only” and learned so much. I bought more copies and loaned them out at church. This one is a “must read” too. Thanks for the information.
I have several weddings coming up this spring. This sounds like an awesome add-on to a wedding gift.
That’s a great idea, Melissa. I have a niece getting married soon.
I just requested it from the library. I just hope I have time to read it.
My library has it, and I just put it on hold. Thanks for the recommendation!
This book is already in at the library for me to pick up. 🙂
Woot!
Who is the author of Fantastic Five for Him? I would like to read it but couldn’t find anything under that title.
That’s a section of this book (Surprising Secrets of Highly Happy Marriages). Sorry for the confusion there.
I read this book recently and really enjoyed it, too! Her tips are so practical and I appreciated her emphasis on doing the “little” things to keep your marriage in great shape.
I so agree with this!
We own and love all of Shaunti Feldhahn’s books, but I missed that this one came out. Will order for sure!
I think it’s my favorite book of hers so far!
This definitely sounds like an amazing book. Thank you, Crystal, for sharing it with us. Thank you, Shaunti, for writing it.
You’re welcome!
