Over the years…
We have received hundreds of letters and calls from people all over the world whose eyes have been opened to things they just didn’t ‘get’ before about the people they cared most about. We wanted to share just a few of these stories with you to encourage you. Relationships are hard and if you have hit a hard time whether recently or for many years, do NOT give up hope. We have seen divorce attorney appointments cancelled, separations reconciled, and commitment restored because of the changes people have made as a result of what they learn they didn’t know about the person they loved most.
A wife’s view of intimacy is changed:
I’ve just finished reading your book For Women Only and I know you probably hear this all the time, but – WOW!!
I’ve started to apply a lot of what you mentioned in the book and the change has been drastic! I don’t think my husband knows what hit him.
The sex chapter was the biggest change for me. I have always thought males viewed sex as purely physical with no emotions attached. What a HUGE change in my thinking this chapter provided! I realized my husband has been trying to tell me this for years, but just not known how.
I am guessing there are so many other females like me who find it hard to provide for their husbands sexually because they think it is just a physical urge on his behalf. Gosh. Knowing it’s a way that communicates ‘I Love You’ to him gives me the energy to give myself every day if need be.
Truthfully when I came across the book I thought it was just going to be another book to make me feel guilty for the things I wasn’t providing for my husband. Instead it untwisted my mind of the way I think about him and has completely encouraged me! I think I would buy the books for any new couple getting married.
Thank you so much for spending your life researching this to help women be the best wife they can be!
From a wife and mother (married 25 years):
Your books were given to my 17 year old daughter ,by her boyfriend’s mother. After reading For Women Only we started some great dialogue and I started to read them. … Reading For Men Only explained me to myself! Christmas day, I put the books out where I was sure my son and his wife would see them. I figured it would be the best marriage counseling they could get. Sure enough, they found the books. Good news is they each grabbed one. Bad news is we lost them for the day because they sat out on the porch READING! The books have been the calalyst of an almost honeymoon atmosphere, for my husband and I. Thank you for writing them. May God bless you both!
From a husband in mid-thirties, married 8 years:
I have been a Christian almost all my life. I grew up with two older sisters, so I thought I understood women fairly well. I have been reading relationship-based books for some time now, so when I came upon For Men Only, I was pleased to have some sort of “map” to help me figure her out. I must say that, at first, I took offense to the book. I thought I knew a lot (at least more than my male peers) about women and how they are “wired”. I found myself at times to get angry and to be in disbelief on issues you discussed in the book. So, I thought to myself that, if this book was so “on track” when it came to women, I was going to read For Women Only to see if you “got it right”. Mind you, I have not been a very avid reader until of late … and it usually takes a book that grabs my attention and hangs-on-for-dear-life for me to even finish reading it. Well … I read that book in less than 48 hours (which is unbelieveable for me). You were so on track with how a man feels, thinks and why he acts the way he does that I was amazed! I was ready to tear For Women Only limb-from-limb, but your were RIGHT ON TARGET! I found myself saying “That’s exactly right!” I even discovered your book describing ways that I have felt myself, but was unable to put those feelings into my own words.
From a single male in twenties:
Just to say that I’ve just read both of your books within the space of three days I’ve realized that if any of my female friends come to me talking about something, they don’t want me to fix it, but to listen! Revelation of the highest order.
From a female high school student:
I was given a list of books to read for school in my Christian bible class and told to choose one. When I went to the bookstore they only had “For Young Women Only” off of my list so naturally, I bought it. I am not a reader or any sort of book worm but I sat down planning to read only a chapter or two when a couple hours later I had finished the book. I expected the usual “don’t have sex because you’ll get diseases” talk but instead you really spoke to my heart. The thing about “For Young Women Only” is that instead of talking AT us (teenage girls), you talked TO us. I even tested out some of my knowledge by telling a few of my guy friends about themselves and all three of their responses were “How did you know that?” “That is so true I wish more girls new that.”
