This book was basically a good quick reminder of how to live selflessly and love your husband. None of the ides/tips in this book where earth shattering new information, but they are things we should constantly be reminded of. As I was reading through the book I found myself going out of my way to tell my husband something I appreciate about him or doing something special for him.

This book is a quick read. It's full of simple ideas and tips - some obvious reminders and some thoughts that make you think. I particularly enjoyed the personal stories.

A wonderfully encouraging book from Lisa! Filled with easy but sometimes forgotten ways you can show you love your significant other. The tips are easy to implement and aren't too hard that you can't get them into a hectic schedule.

There is terrific advice in this book that applies to any stage of marriage. I’ve been in a happy marriage for 43 years, and this book spoke to my heart and reminded of some of the best ways to help keep our marriage healthy and strong. I’m glad I’ve read it, and I’ll be looking through this book again for encouragement and to be reminded of these basic things that any wife can do.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

This is a perfect book for reading in the nooks and crannies of time. Each of the 100 chapters (pages? chapters?) stands alone with a tip and the why behind it or a short story to describe more.

The one tip that hit me the most is to treat your husband like a friend. When you see a friend out in public, you greet them with a big smile, say hello, and take an interest in their day. When I see my husband in the morning or after work, I don't always do that. It can feel to him like I care more about my friends than him. This was a good tip and one I try to keep in mind with both my husband AND my kids.

I follow the GoodReads rating system. Please note that this means even the 3-star books are ones I liked.
1 star – didn’t like it
2 stars – it was OK
3 stars – liked it
4 stars – really liked it
5 stars – it was amazing; I’ll read it over and over and/or it will impact my daily life.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley. I was not required to give a positive review. The thoughts and opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

"100 ways to love your husband" is a nice, quick read on small ways to appreciate your husband and to strengthen your relationship. It is a short book, with one tip on each page (roughly). It encourages you to reexamine the way you relate to your spouse and helps bring some kindness back that we sometimes take for granted. I would recommend this book to women looking for a quick book on relationships.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

The book 100 Ways to Love Your Husband is exactly as advertised: a list of 100 ways a woman can love her husband. This book's strengths are it's readability, encouraging tone, and the Biblical support of the list items. In my opinion, the book would work best in a group setting because the brevity of each item makes it difficult sometimes to know how to apply the ideas. For example the book suggests "Be strong" followed by "but show your weakness sometimes." Yet the book doesn't, because I don't think it's possible to comprehensively do this, give pointers on when to rely on the strength of the Lord and when to vulnerably show weakness to your husband in order to most glorify God and love your spouse. The book is wonderfully thin on personal examples, which I liked because personal examples make a poor argument for why the reader should follow the writer's footsteps. Most of the few examples are helpful and generalizable, though a handful were hard for me to personally apply (going on every possible errand with your husband works great when you have kids who can stay home by themselves, but is not an errand date if you're dragging a pile of young kids along too).

100 Ways To Love Your Husband by Lisa Jacobson is a powerful little book packed with tips and information on how to love your husband well. I would recommend this book to anyone who is newly wed or as an engagement gift. It would make a good refresher for anyone no matter how long they have been married.

This is a great little book with awesome ideas on how to love your husband—whether you are a newlywed or someone who has been married for decades. It is the perfect type of gift I would love to give to my daughters who are all newly married.

What a great, practical and helpful book! I previously reviewed the set of these books for the wife (even though I’m a wife) and I’ve been so eager to get my hands on the ones for loving your husband! These lived up to the same level as the other books and are ones I would easily recommend to any married couple no matter the season of life!

This is a nice gift for a new couple. often times we forget that the men in our lives need to feel loved and respected as they are often less likely to verbalize their emotional needs. The book takes less than half an hour to read and while I used this book to high five myself when I was following the right path I also took some phrases and ways to love my husband to use later. I asked my husband if he wanted to be held the other night and it was like our marriage got better in just that one sentence!

100 Ways to Love Your Husband
By Lisa Jacobson
This book is full of simple but significant words of wisdom for the married woman. Easy to read, these little nuggets of advice will provide the insight and awareness of what makes a marriage work. It is not always in grand gestures but often in the little moments in our daily routine. The ideas and advice shared were on point with not only what God tells us of love but also with the struggles I find myself facing in marriage. While some days were reminders others were challenges to work on. Marriage takes work and I am grateful for how easy this book was to read and put into practice.

This is set up in little nuggets of wisdom for your marriage and it is such a joy. The tips are clear and concise and easy to apply--truly all things we know but may have forgotten over the years. I really enjoyed this little book and it will be one I go back to often for "reminders" of how to show love. The writer has a positive, encouraging tone throughout and it was such a delight to read.

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!

100 Ways to Love Your Husband by Lisa Jacobson is just that: a list of ways for a wife to love her husband. This book offers 100 practical ways that for a wife to love her husband in the midst of the everyday. Maybe you have just entered marriage and want to make sure you love in practical ways. Or maybe you have been married for some years now. Maybe there has been conflicts recently, and something needs to change. Whatever season you are in, this book offers practical ideas.

I first read this list -- or something very similar to this list -- as a blog post. To be honest, I still think this would be better as a blog post than as a book. As a book, 100 Ways to Love Your Husband offers just a list and nothing more. While this is a very good list, I would want more from a book. Even so, this is a good list to read through once. So I would recommend this book if you are looking for practical ways to love. But I think this book doesn't necessarily add too much more than that.

Quick read. Basic, sound advice.

Author Lisa Jacobson’s 100 Ways to Love Your Husband The Simple, Powerful Path to a Loving Marriage is filled with tidbits of sound advice for Christian wives who want to love their husbands in the best possible way.

Many of the topics are only a few sentences, but some dive a little deeper into the author’s experiences. All are common sense and simple reminders. There are some references to applicable Bible verses, but the verses themselves are not included. I didn’t take the time to look them up and felt it would have been helpful if they’d been included.

100 Ways to Love Your Husband is a newly released version of a previously published book. It can be read as a daily devotion, where each bite-sized topic is savored and absorbed. Or you could buzz through it quickly and read repeatedly as you need a refresher. Because, let’s face it, even good marriages have challenges. People aren’t perfect. Even the best spouse has irritating habits and bad days. Even the best Christian wives can wander off track and start taking a good man for granted.

100 Ways to Love Your Husband is the companion to 100 Ways to Love Your Wife. The husband and wife author duo also have “affirmation” companion books for married couples.

How this book affected me:
As an “old married lady” who’s blessed with an overall great marriage, I found this book to be a good reminder of getting back to the basics. Communication and respect are critical aspects of a good and lasting marriage. We can all probably use a little improvement in these areas. This book opened my eyes to the ways I’ve been taking my husband for granted. Marriage (as any relationship) can always be improved with concerted effort.

Who would enjoy this book:
100 Ways to Love Your Husband would make a good gift for a newly engaged or married wife or the pair of books for a newly married couple or as wedding gifts. It can also serve as a reality-check for wives struggling within their marriage.

Having read both "100 Ways to Love your Husband" and its partner "100 Words of Affirmation Your Husband Needs to Hear" I can say that this book is the "to do" list as opposed to the "to say list". Both books are beautiful and simple in their own right. Accompanying the series are the books for your husband to read about you, "100 Ways to love your Wife" and "100 Words of Affirmation your Husband Needs to Hear." They are available in packs on Amazon.

100 Ways to love your Husband will be a blessing to any marriage whether new or established. Having tried out some of the "ways" on my unsuspecting husband, I can truly say that they are doable and that they work. If you want to love your partner well, and bring more service into your marriage, this is a beautiful book that will help you do just that. Each "way" is simple and romantic and yet most of us forget to bring this sort of intentionality and love into our most precious relationships. They won't take long to do, but I believe the "ways" have the power to do beautiful things in our marriages.
