Dedication
To Chris and Vikki Francis
When you bought me that computer thirteen years ago, you did more than invest in a piece of equipment-you invested in me at a point when there was no proof that your gamble was going to pay off. I am forever grateful that you had the holy vision to see something in me that I would have never seen in myself.
Thank you for your example of loving God, loving others, and loving each other. You are life changers.
Acknowledgments
Great thanks go to Erin MacPherson, Cheri Gregory, Susy Flory, Renee Swope, Michele Cushatt, and Crystal Paine. So grateful to each and every one of you.
Thanks to Amanda and Shaun, Jeremy, Justen, and Kimberly. Love you more than is reasonable.
My team: Angela Bouma, Sherri Johnson, Brooke Martinez, and Kimber Hunter. You are faithful, inspiring, and a gift.
Rachelle Gardner-proud to call you agent.
Rod Morris-you make writing 80 percent less painful. In other words, you are a miracle.
Harvest House Publishers-I love that I get to call you home.
To our families: The Richersons, the Lipps, and the Dobsons. All my love.
To my friends at Church on the Hill in San Jose, California, and especially Scott and Kelli Simmerok. So grateful to call you home.
And finally to Roger. You are the reason for all of this. How do you pay someone for giving you your life back? I will just keep showing up and loving you every single day. Shut the door, baby.

Preparing to Show Your Husband You Love Him
Thank you for showing up for your husband.
I m excited that there is a group of women who still want to say, My marriage is important, and my husband is important. Which, it seems, is not very fashionable these days. In fact, as I was writing this book, husbands who talked to me about what was important to them were almost apologetic.
I m going to sound like a caveman, but I love it when my wife dresses up for me.
Is it OK to say that I love it when my wife has dinner on the table when I get home?
Yes, much of what these men told me sounded like it came straight out of a happy housewives manual from the fifties.
Dinner.
Looking nice.
Spending time together.
A clean house.
Yep-it sounded positively archaic.
Since when did society get to determine what makes a man happy? If having a roast in the slow cooker makes my man happy, who am I to tell him he s wrong? (I still like it when my man kills bugs for me. Does that make me a betrayer of my sex?)
What we ve come to understand is that what makes a man feel loved hasn t changed much. What has changed is the role women play. We are no longer solely caretakers of the home-we work outside the home (or inside, as many of us work or run businesses from our kitchen table). We have dozens of responsibilities in addition to keeping our man satisfied and happy. So how does a real, true-to-life wife actually get it done?
We need to keep it simple.
I m not telling you to do all 101 things described in this book at the same time. Even Wonder Woman had to get her cape cleaned every once in a while. But I am saying, try these out-and see what your husband responds to. You may figure out a whole new way to love your man.
OK, 101 ideas is a lot. And while I can get pretty creative when it comes to loving on my man, I have friends who are way more creative than I am. So I asked them to contribute their best ideas. I ve included ideas from some of my buddies who have giant marriage books and websites, as well as from friends who just have great marriages. I know you ll be as encouraged as I was reading through all their ideas.
Super Simple Scriptures
If you are looking to see real change in the heart of your marriage, the best thing you can do is pray for yourself and your man. So in various places throughout this book I have provided some of my favorite Scriptures to pray for your marriage. Now, I could give you lists and lists of Scriptures to hang on to as you pray for your man (and in a couple of cases I do), but for the most part, I pulled up my favorites. One that has stuck with me over the years as I pray for Roger is Hebrews 4:12: For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
If we want the heart of our marriage to grow stronger, praying Scripture, in my opinion, is the best way to accomplish it.
Super Simple Scripts
Sometimes the way to show your husband you love him isn t an action, it s a statement. So I ve offered a few simple
