My husband and I have both enjoyed this book. This book helps you with ideas of different ways to bless your wife.  The ideas are great because you can do them. Sometimes after being married for awhile you forget to say and do special things that will help your marriage. If you are newly married this book would be great also because you can start right away and learn more about each other.

Newlyweds usually find it easy to praise their husband or wife.  But sometimes after years of daily grind, sick kids, job stress, unending homework sessions, caring for parents, to-do lists that never are finished, piles and piles of laundry, and mounting bills, it's sometimes difficult to think of positive things to say.  You're tired and stressed.  So is your wife.  So speak life into your beloved.  Can't think of what to say?  Take a page from this book.  

Not all affirmations will apply to all marriages.  But a good many of them will.  As a wife, these words would go a long way to soothe my aching soul.  I read both the husband and wife versions of these books, and they are both very good.  

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received through Netgalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review, nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

Practical and down-to-earth, this book is just the kind of advice every husband needs to hear from time to time, packaged in a quick and easy to read format. Makes an excellent wedding or anniversary gift.

This book is written for husbands, to help them find the words to show love and encouragement to their wives.  These affirmations are like a loving hug wrapped around your wife's shoulders and the book encourages this for husband's to learn.  Such a great book!

This is the companion to the 100 Words of Affirmation Your Husband Needs to Hear.  I requested this book to read some on my own but to also give to my husband to read. 

I think reading it myself was actually eye-opening.  I didn't even know that some of these things were things I wanted and needed to hear.  

Having been married for almost 16 years and having 11 kids you'd think we had this all figured out.  We don't.  This book is great to help heal parts of your marriage you didn't even know were broken. 

I highly recommend gifting all couples a copy of this book and the companion book.  Couples should read them together and put the elements into practice. As you do so keep a journal to see what changes in your marriage. 

You're not going to want to go back to the before marriage once you've experienced the after sections!

This was okay, but not what I expected. Everyone’s marriage is different. I think this could improve some marriages, but it didn’t do anything for my husband and I.

A helpful book for husbands hoping to continue the work of nurture that a lifelong marriage requires.  Matt Jacobson touches on a lot of different truths about marriage and the relationship a husband has with his wife, such as the God-given one-flesh mandate (Genesis 2;24) and the mixed signals that modern society flings at us that subvert our self-worth, self-confidence and self-image.  Though God is the ultimate source of those things, it is all too easy for societal norms to drown out that truth, especially for women, a common target.  In providing these words of affirmation as prompts, Jacobson highlights the role that husbands can play in building up their wives by simply saying affirming words that their wives never hear enough.

This book isn’t for everybody.  Jacobson assumes a nuclear, biological family and a complementarian approach to gender roles (men as head of the household), and those in other types of families or marriages ought to keep that in mind when reading.  Though the book need not get too heavy with heady theology, there were still missed opportunities to describe marriage as a reflection of Jesus’s love for the church, something more theologized than explicitly stated but still supported by Scripture (e.g. John 3:29; Revelation 21:2, 9-10); the comparison alone is beautiful.  I think I counted on my fingers the total number of references to Scripture in the book, another missed opportunity.  Finally, the book commits the common mistake of focusing on Ephesians 5:22-24 (“Wives, submit to your husbands...”) without reading on to or including the next verses, for context’s sake (“Husbands, love your wives...”).  One of these days, we’ll get it right...

Still, as a husband myself, I found a lot of useful tidbits here, and certainly plan to nurture my own marriage with what I read in this book.

I received a free electronic copy of this book from NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.

Well, I had my husband read through this last night with me and I have to say that each affirmation is on point. A lot of them he already says and some of them, I was like, "Yessss, please say that more to me."

Marriage takes a lot of work and I believe this book will help men with their marriages and making their marriages better, and helping their wives feel noticed, validated....affirmed. 

I will totally be suggesting this book to my married friends and those getting engaged. Thank you for writing this and letting me read it!

Reading this as a wife, I really connect with the affirmations. I was curious how much of these would resonate with me especially as a woman whose life language is words of affirmation. I think 90% of these are ones I either resonate  currently or have in the past few years. Simple and easy book for husbands to use as a resource!

I love this book, it’s simple and practical. A new perspectiv for the other gender. We can easily send the wrong message just because we don’t know what our better half expects from us. This book brings a light on the things your spouse needs to hear.

Based upon biblical studies, this series of books succinctly reminds us of the importance of cultivating a successful, loving marriage through communication. Practical words that need to spoken. 

The hardcover copy would make a wonderful daily devotional. I plan to purchase all of the books in the series. Thank you!

Thank you to NetGalley, Revell, and Matt Jacobson for an ARC of '100 Words of Affirmation Your Wife Needs to Hear' in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.

Matt was spot on!  My personal love language is words of affirmation.  I would love to hear my husband tell me any and all those things that Matt suggested.  Matt's suggestions are practical yet they carry such impact.  

I love how Matt encourages husbands to be sincere and not just spout empty words of flattery at his wife in hopes she'll improve.  He encourages husbands to look for the good in his wife and look for things he can compliment her on.  Thanks Matt for encouraging husbands to uplift their wives with their words.
