Book Giveaway! “For the Love of Our Husbands”
I have another book giveaway for you! Woohoo! (enter below!)
Have you met Darby Duggar? Go ahead. I’ll wait while you go say hello. 🙂 Mkay.
When she asked me to review her book, For the Love of Our Husbands I was thrilled because the area of loving my husband is one of my focal points this year.  And when she told me that I could give one copy of her book to my readers, I was ecstatic. You can preview a page here.
Her book started out as a weekly challenge  to a group of women via email that grew and grew…
From her site:
“Being a godly wife can be difficult. It requires time, commitment, change, and a daily choice to work toward God’s best in one’s marriage. For some wives, the path to a godly marriage can be confusing…
This book serves as a guide “to achieving God’s design for their marriage. Dugger highlights several ways wives can grow in their relationship with Christ, in their role as a wife, and in their marriage. And, while it may seem obvious that a wife must pray for her husband, he and his spiritual needs are often left out of daily prayers. To help alleviate that oversight, Dugger provides daily, Scripture-based prayers for their husbands and includes a brief weekly devotion to help bring God’s hand into their marriage. In For the Love of Our Husbands, Dugger conveys the simple principle that while striving to become a better wife, one must ultimately become a better woman of faith as well.”
This book is about her commitment to pray for her husband and it challenged me to pray more specifically for Peter.
So, I am pleased to announce a giveaway. 🙂

I am his biggest fan. I always let him know that I appreciate how hard he works for our family.
I cook homecooked meals since he works out on the road and eats a lot of fast food and I know it it something he really likes.
I try to have the children bathed and dressed and supper ready when he comes home on nights when we have prayer meeting (like tonight).
Keep the house in order
I try to bless my husband by having dinner ready for him, his clothes clean and put up so he doesn’t have to hunt for them, having him come home to a clean house and happy kids (and wife), giving him his time to unwind w/ a shower before dinner and going to bed with him when he does. Even when I still have 100 other things I need to be doing. Again, I say I ‘try’. Because some days it’s hard to have it all done but it’s my job.
Sounds like a great book, Sarah! Thanks for letting us know about it. 🙂
I try to bless my husband by giving serious thought (and action) to my new role as wife, by praying for him and reading books and blogs like these!
I try to bless my husband by thanking him for providing for us when we sit down to supper.
I always try to have a warm meal ready when he gets home from work…and make sure the kids are ready and at the door to greet him !
I try to put out any small fires while he is at work and try to think of some special way I can bless him each day.
Coming along side him after long hard day at work and the baby’s finally gone to sleep, there’s no need to say anything or even ask about his day — he’ll speak when he’s ready and he’s knows that I care.
I support him even if I don’t understand his choice. The best way to show a man you love him is respect.
I help him with his outdoor work
This book so lines up with the summer Good Morning Girls study I’m doing about Proverbs 31! This looks great. I try to bless my husband by asking him how I can help him during the day while he’s at work 🙂
I support him in his ministry. He has such a wonderful testimony and it helps him to share what God has done for him.
I’m my husbands sounding board. I make time for him to share what is day was like and any/all concerns he has and we pray together.
I like to make sure the coffee is ready to go and plugged into the timer. For some reason, him knowing the coffee is ready for him (and often he brings me a cup before I’m out of bed! ) makes it so much easier for him in the morning.
I try to bless him by keeping a clean house.
I try to remember to pray for him each day, & if I know he is having a rough day, I’ll text him a little note & tell him I am praying for him. I also remind him to pray. Sometimes in the midst of a tough time, we forget to pray.
I include him in all important decisions & seek his advice in most things. He likes to know his opinion matters. 🙂
This looks like a good book
Oh and I try to consider his preferences for food. He isn’t picky so it makes it easier!
I cook him supper!! 🙂
I do my best to take care of things around our home so he doesn’t to worry about them after long days at work.
I try to listen to him when he just wants someone to talk to. I may be super busy, but I’ve found that when I stop everything and give him my undivided attention, it is such an encouragement to him…AND that’s without any advice…just listening!
I try to thank him for all that he does. He likes being told ‘thanks’.
