Almost instantly, the answer came: How to get your husband to talk to you. Thus began a lot of reading, researching, surveying, and practicing. We were surprised time and again at what worked, and what didn’t! We think you will be as well.”

I'm laughing as I write this, because, this is not William Irwin, but rather his wife. :) Hi my name is Esther and this review is from me: I bought this book years ago and read it and I have to be honest - at first I hated it. I threw it away at least 4 times in the first 5 chapters. But, each time, I'd pull it back out again and continue reading. It's simple enough to read and understand - what made it so hard and irritating was how much there was in there for ME. I'd bought it to "fix" my husband - because of course, it's always HIS fault, right? Turns out I had a lot of "fixing" to do as well. It saved my marriage. Afterwards I loaned it to a friend who was having "problems" with her husband - I never got it back, so when I found it on here, I decided to order it again. It really is not a book about the husband - it's more a book about, me the wife. It's helped to remind me to love the man my husband IS not who I think he should be or what I think he should become. I HIGHLY urge anyone who doubts their choice to read it and find the same encouragement that I did. It was through reading this book that I learned to fall in love with my husband again. Now, I don't just love him but I am IN love with him.

"How to Get Your Husband to Talk to You" is one of the most helpful marriage books I've ever read. It gives practical advice you can use to immediately change your relationship.

Even if you have no problems in the area of communication, the sage advice will teach you a lot about how to be even happier in your marriage. Each chapter is only two to three pages long so you can read a few chapters a day while putting relevant ideas into practice.

While this is written for Christian women, the advice will work no matter what you believe. This book will work best for women who have a dominant feminine energy who are married to men with a dominant male energy. This book also works best when you jot down notes while you are reading and put the advice into practice over one to two weeks. What I appreciated most about this book is how it gives a woman full control over her destiny.

The idea about taking out the garbage (instead of nagging) is worth the price of the book and will solve many arguments. I now take out the garbage when I go to get the mail and there are no more arguments. My only complaint is that the authors didn't give ideas on what a husband could do instead of jobs he hates. In my marriage we each have jobs to make things fair. The chapters on being a better listener are also life changing. All I can say is that communication is essential if you want to stay married and this book will give you the tools to take charge of your married life.

I realized when I read page one this book was not going to help. My marriage had been gone and lost for many years and many years of counseling. I realized I could take 50 % of the blame but not all that he was shooving on me. I came to the awareness that in order to love I must love myself first and that you can not fix a marriage alone, it takes two. There may be wise words and helpful ideas in this book. All I can say don't fall into "I'm in love" until you really love yourself. Know who you are first. Men ( and people) do tell you who they are, we have to listen and believe what they say. I didn't. Until I loved me. I'm getting a divorce. It is sad, I am in a mourning period, but I don't want him, or any other man right now. I simply want to get out and get on with my life. If love comes my way I will be a lot wiser then before. But I am not waiting for it make me complete. One day I might finish reading this book. But it was too late for me to try once again to get him to open up Give it a look it may be just the thing for you……

Good book if you want to be the change you desire to see. Included are real life examples that can be related to.

This book is actually a book about being a better wife! It's a good book!

Delirium

I really wanted to like this book...however, the tone really makes a woman feel a bit like a doormat. There is little encouragement of actual being "real" with the person you are with. Intelligent women appreciate advice that allows them to be open and honest about their needs and to be able to compromise. The focus of this book seems to leave this out.

For any women that want to really undersand and man, keep him happy and interested, this is the real owner's manual for men. This has all the stuff men think and feel but never communicate well to women. If you want to understand your man, read this book!

Please be wary when deciding whether or not to read this book. This book is geared towards housewives that want to please their husbands. It assumes that men have such inferior communication skills that women must make all the concessions. Some of my favorite tidbits of advice are to be wary of where you are in your menstrual cycle before attempting communication, be sure to cook him a hot meal of his liking, always greet him with a smile when he comes home from a long day's work, and one of my favorites, don't give your opinion unless asked. This book may have been helpful if written in the 40's but in today's world it comes off as sexist and demeaning.
