This Bundle Should Be Required Reading for Every Married Couple!
Let me start by saying, I am not usually one to read any kind of personal growth, relationship-building type of book. But, something about the 100 Ways to Love your Husband spoke to me. I ordered it, read it, and quickly realized that I was missing the mark when it came to loving my husband. After reading it, I immediately went to my husband and asked for his forgiveness. I thought I was an awesome wife, and in some ways, I truly think I am, but I had work to do. And work I did. Using the simple ways outlined in this book, our relationship strengthened, our love, while always there, was enhanced, and yes, our intimate times became, well....I'll let you figure that out.
My husband read 100 Ways to Love Your Wife (I have too since then), and he came to the same realization. He is an amazing man, don't get me wrong. I picked a good one for sure. But, he had work to do too. Working on us together has been amazing. Marriage is work, no doubt. But it's a journey, not a marathon, and it's a journey well worth taking together.
These two books certainly changed our marriage - strengthened it, enhanced it, solidified it. As
most people have experienced, time makes you forget - makes you take for granted that your spouse knows what you're thinking. This bundle should not be a one-time read. It is an invaluable resource and one that should be kept handy and re-read lovingly.

The Authors Couldn't Have Picked A More Perfect Title For The Books!!!
It is just that... 100 different and simple ways to LOVE. When using the biblical definition of love, one that is not based on our emotions but rather a selfless action, it isn't always easy. And some of us didn't grown up in a Christian or loving home to even know what love looks like.
What I love most about these books is there isn't a complicated formula for getting a great marriage. And these books don't promise that either, but they can be a really effective tool and can convict you in areas where you can love your spouse more. Words can be damaging but they can also be used to heal. I really needed the practical examples with some of the concepts, so that was helpful.
If you are looking for a tool that will grow your marriage towards love, let these books be a part of your library to read and re-read!

Down to earth, practical, and so helpful!
I received these books to preread before they came out. (Note: I do not receive any compensation for my review. I just really appreciate helpful, edifying books!)
Both these and the Jacobson’s, “100 ways to love...” books are practical, down to earth, and beneficial to couples desiring to have a happy marriage. They are not devotionals, but are from a Christian perspective—also check out their awesome blogs and podcast! The books give simple, daily “tips” that when applied make a world of difference in any marriage.
Words really do matter. Taking time to let my husband know verbally all the things I appreciate about him not only helps him, but also keeps me focused on the positives of our marriage and not on the petty.
I highly recommend couples reading them together!

This needs to be a part of premarital counseling.
WOW, that could be my whole review because it was that powerful to me, but that wouldn’t tell anyone anything else, so I will start with WOW and continue from there. Lisa and Matt Jacobson have hit these books out of the park. It brings home that it’s really the simple things that can make a spouse feel loved and appreciated. Those things, as life gets busy, that we tend to forget. #27, “I like you”. I often say a quick “Luv ya” to my husband as I run out the door, but it’s been years since I told him how much I like him as a person. It made me smile to see the reaction. These books can be marriage changing. They are short with easy, but with precise suggestions that can either enhance a good marriage or rebuild a broken one. My marriage is in the second category. We have been married for 19 years but fighting for a good 17. Thank goodness my husband is loyal to his vows and has refused to give up. After reading both books, I am feeling confident, as we go through our next 19, it will be better than ever. God is good and he has spoken through these books, and I do believe, they will help change the state of marriage. Thank you Lisa and Matt.

A Lifetime of Encouragement at Your Fingertips!
Matthew and Lisa Jacobson have outdone themselves with their book bundle, 100 Ways to Love Your Husband/Wife bundle.
These books have been a true blessing to us in our marriage. My husband has a health condition that has at times seriously hindered our family from doing things that we would love to do; discouraged us in many ways; and almost crushed our faith at times. But these books have rekindled my hope and my faith while I struggle with how best to love my husband through his health condition and how best to explain our limitations to our children and extended family. These books have helped me not only to love my husband better, but also how to love our family better. Thank you, Matt & Lisa, for courageously following your hearts to share such encouragement for other marriages! These are books that I will treasure for years to come, and I will definitely recommend to others.

Practical marriage advice
I read and thoroughly enjoyed both these books when they were first published. I love the crisp new covers on these new editions, though. The books are short -- one idea per page along with a brief explanation -- but they are full of great ideas for nurturing your marriage and communicating love to your spouse. Rather than rushing through the book in an hour or two, I recommend reading just a few pages a day and putting the ideas into practice immediately. Just pick whichever ones you think would most resonate with your beloved.

wonderful resource
I bought this a while back, but I go back a reference it often. It has been such a great resource and reminder of little ways to show my husband that I love him. I am looking forward to reading 100 words of affirmation for your husband as soon as I get it. Thank you for pouring out this wisdom, sometimes you just need a reminder and creative tips.
