husband_6_25.inddHave a New Husband by Friday: How to Change His Attitude, Behavior & Communication in 5 Days written by Dr. Kevin Leman will be available in October 2009 and is a fun book to read. The humorous title reflects the lighthearted and non-threatening words contained within the pages of this book about marriage.  Internationally-known psychologist, humorist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Kevin Leman comes to the rescue and shares the secrets to transform any marriage in just five days!

Women are puzzled by repetitive male behavior that simply makes no sense to the female mind. Why doesn’t he listen when his wife speaks? How can he forget what she just told him five minutes earlier? He married me, shouldn’t he notice my new $75 haircut? Over and over, women living with the male species wonder about their seemingly strange behavior. What happened to the guy who wore fresh clothes, sweetened his mouth with a fresh breath mint and sat listening as you spilled out your heartfelt words? Why does he seek shelter in his “Man Cave?” Why has “life with the knight of your dreams turned into boredom with no hope of reprieve?” explains the author.

With wit and wisdom, Dr. Leman tells women how to Have a New Husband by Friday: How to Change His Attitude, Behavior & Communication in 5 Days and shows wives that they really can change their husbands for the better—if they do it the right way. You may have failed at the wrong way to change your husband-yelling, nagging, complaining and ignoring him. In this book, you’ll find a simple game plan for marriage that you can follow.

You’ll also find an analysis of his family influence and gain an understanding of how his childhood environment affects his adult marriage. Was he raised by the

  • Overprotective Mother
  • No-Room-to-Fail Mother
  • Driven Mother
  • Disciplining Mother

In the book, you’ll find helpful marriage information for any marriage, healthy or not. After reading the book I’m interested in reading Dr. Kevin Leman’s bestselling book “Have a New Kid by Friday” because this book brings awareness to our parenting styles and how they impact the future of our children.

I gave this book an average rating. Its a good book, no complaints about the content or writing style. However, I’ve read several marriage books and compared to others I have read, this one is about average. The author knows his subject very well and is entertaining. If you want a lighthearted approach to a common marriage problem, then you’ll want to read this book when it’s available next month.

Have a New Husband by Friday: How to Change His Attitude, Behavior & Communication in 5 Days is available October 2009 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.”

My Amazon Review: 3/5
