Behind Every Good Man: [Helping Your Husband Take Spiritual Lead At Home] Helping Your Husband Take The Spiritual Lead In The Home (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
This is a small simple read that summarizes ways wives can help their husbands along this journey of mortality. The word "help" not "change" is key to this book. Despite some of the principles taught, I do not view them as keys to "changing" your husband. Some readers may come to this conclusion. However, I simply see it as a book that can help inspire greater love and acceptance through staying committed to helping one another grow together.I am currently not married, but I'm thankful to have read this book, as I feel it provides a good base as I continue to look for my potential eternal companion. Therefore, if you're singled or married and looking for a quick read on improving marriage (as there are literally thousands of other books that cover just one topic in this book) I would highly recommend it. Disclaimer! If it weren't for my husband's consistency, we would have no scripture study or family prayer at all. So, let it be known that I did not read this book because I'm trying to fix my husband--he's great! I heard about this book in Relief Society (someone made a comment) and decided to look for it at the library. I had to put it on hold. The woman who mentioned it in RS had stated that the title was sort of a trick or joke because the book is more about how the WIFE should behave! And it's true. There is nothing new or stellar in the book. John Bytheway simply takes good solid concepts, adds scripture, weaves his personality throughout and sells helpful books. He talks about being positive, giving sincere and specific praise and thanks, and treating our spouse with kindness and dignity. That's all. I found a lot of very good reminders and the book helped me see some of the traps into which I have fallen. The author also quotes extensively from other authors. It's a short little read.
