Hey ladies –
I am in the final stretch of The Husband Project book and I need your help.
Today, I am looking for stories of:
1. a time you took your husband out to dinner or watched a movie together
2. any changes you have seen in your husband, yourself or in your household since doing the husband project
I am writing those chapters of the book right now and could really use some examples.
If I use your story (or stories), you will recieve a copy of the book when it is published.
Thanks ladies – I know you have some great stories to share!

Remember when you were dating, how you couldn’t wait for his phone call? Just the sound of his voice made your heart beat a little faster.
Then real life happens. You have jobs, kids, rent or a mortgage, laundry to fold and lasagna to bake. It’s been a long time since your heart has risen above a waltz, much less a mambo.
Maybe it’s time to put some pitter-patter back into the relationship.
Send your husband a flirty e-mail or text message today. Let him know you cannot wait to see him tonight-that you are counting the hours. A little over the top? I bet he won’t think so.
If you’re going to go beyond flirty to slightly scandalous (which, by the way, I highly encourage) make sure it’s his private e-mail or cell phone. You don’t want Big Brother at his company knowing how little you’ll be wearing tonight.
Prayer for Today
Dear God, may my husband have the security to know he is the only man for me – that you have designed us to be together.
Getting Creative
- Use an e-card service (Hallmark.com or americangreetings.com) to send a cute and flirty note.
- Don’t know how to text? Ask any teenager in the general vicinity.
- Most phones have a camera feature where you can send a photo message. Be sure to keep it G-rated so he doesn’t get in trouble at work.
Your Project:
Send a flirty text or email to your husband.

Twenty five years ago, my marriage was on the brink of divorce, but through a series of miracles my husband and I made a decision to rebuild our marriage. This is the second of a four-part series, all about giving your husband the V.I.P. treatment: respect him Verbally, Intellectually and Physically. (Click here to read parts one, two or three.)
Respect Him Physically
Ask what he would physically like you to do and then, do it. Find out what his top three needs are. Ron likes the laundry done, sex a least twice a week (guaranteed!) and he likes me to (more…)

OK – Sometimes I am not a very good wife.
I get cranky and selfish and stomp my foot and don’t want to do the Stupid Husband Project.
And, sometime, world famous wonderful Roger, well – he is still pretty wonderful, but there are days when we both look at the group of step-kids we have running around this house and think, “Really? This was a good idea?”
The reality is that marriage with all of it’s blessings, is really, really hard. And sometimes I don’t like hard.
If you are in the spot where you are really not liking the project, I understand. I wrote the project and sometimes, I don’t like it.
I would love to hear what the biggest challenges have been for you. I know it give me hope when other wives are not having that loving feeling. And to know, that someday, it will get easier again.
Tell me what the most challenging project has been for you. I know I would feel better.

Recently my husband and I celebrated our twenty-third wedding anniversary. That morning before Jeff left for work he took me in his arms (ignoring my bad breath, crazy hair, scraggly jammies and all) and told me how much he loved me. He said, (more…)

Respect Him Intellectually
Men like to solve problems and fix things. So appeal to his intelligence by asking him to help you solve a problem. Instead of saying “This garage is a mess, clean up your camping stuff!” Try, (more…)
