I found this book very enjoyable and intriguing. This book is for the Christian wife who wants to show her husband her love and devotion for him. Maybe a new spark is needed. Maybe both husband and wife are falling into those bad habits of routinely "doing their own thing" and not involving each other into their lives. Maybe you have even started to forget why you fell in love in the first place. This book is for the wife who wants to change all that or just remind her husband that she is still "in love" with him. This book encompasses stories, prayers, devotions, and "Wow" ideas to kick-start your marriage again. The book is planned out for one "Wow Idea" each week, which is very manageable, but you can certainly pick your favorites to implement at any time. The ideas range from the very simple (making his favorite breakfast in bed) to the more in depth ( planning a "courageous" date that may be out of your box, but exciting for him).

Even though I believe my marriage is very solid and happy, I have no doubt these ideas could create a spark in our relationship. I have a few ideas up my sleeve and plan to spring them on my husband in the near future. This book reminds you of why you fell in love with your husband in the first place and celebrates that. It also reminded me of the need to pray for my husband daily. I know that I have been neglecting that aspect of our marriage and this book shows you how to do just that. How can you go wrong planning surprises for your husband and praying for him daily?

I received an e-book copy for review from Netgalley. ( )

About the Book:
If you are looking for a way to spice up your romance to your husband and become closer to him in a spiritual, physical or emotional way, pick up this book. Pam Farrel connects to her audience in a very easy to read, and understand style. There are some great inspirational stories as well as assignments to keep you busy all year long.

My take:
I will definitely be buying this book as soon as my local Christian bookstore gets it in...or they will be ordering it for me. There were 52 reasons to get this book. The things that I have done so far have definitely made him notice! The ideas range from easy to complex, from free to costs a bit. There is no set order, and I can see some of these ideas lasting a little longer than a week, so this book (if I can keep it hidden) will last for awhile. We have been married for 19 years and with five kids, we have started to take each other for granted....this book came along at a great time to help spice up our time together. Even if you have only been married a short time this would be a great addition to your library to help you get to know your husband better. The chapters are set up with wow assignments, wow wisdom and wow dates. Perfect addition to your devotion time as the chapters are quick and to the point.

About the Author:
The author and her husband have written over 26 books, mostly about marriage and Christian growth. They are the parents of 3 active children, ages 20 to 26 and have been working with couples their entire adult life. To relax, Pam and Bill enjoy cheering for their sons at sporting events, reading, and exercising together...especially when it consists of kayaking or a long walk at the beach. They speak frequently at seminars and you can find them and a ton of good advice on their love-wise site.

7 thumbs up!

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher through Netgalley for my honest review. No other compensation was given and I was not required to give a positive review. ( )

I have been reading this book for the last week, while trying to keep it hidden from my husband, which I was able to do successfully. Then tonight, I sit down to write this post with the book beside me and my husband comes over and picks it up and says "Have you read this yet?" with a big smile. He then told me I wow him everyday . . :) I just couldn't believe that after I had hid it all week he see's it tonight! But anyway - let me tell you about the book.

This book has 52 chapters - (52 weeks) - with a different idea for something special you can do to "wow" your husband. You can get a better idea of this by reading the first chapter below. For me, the book just opened my eyes to how little I know about certain areas of my husband's life. I remember doing all sorts of fun stuff outside the house before our youngest son came along and how quickly our together time has been squashed for family time. Family time is important - but we need to be strong together before we can be strong together as a family. I am going to be spending the next few weeks really paying attention to what my husband does in his free time, what he does to relax, what some of his favorites are - and then I am going to be preparing some "wow" dates. I have already started devising some things I can do in October - as that is the month that we started dating. This book definitely has the ability to draw us closer together, and I am looking forward to it! ( )

A woman knows what she finds romantic, but ask her what her husband finds romantic (other than sex) and she might need a little time to think of an answer. Even a woman who has been married many years may occasionally find that she needs an idea about how to put that special spark into the relationship. In 52 Ways to Wow Your Husband, Pam Farrell, who has been a wife for over 31 years, shows wives how they can connect with and “wow” their husbands.

As this book is meant to be done over a year's time (one a week), I obviously did not have the time to test out all the ideas in this book before reviewing it. However, I can tell you that the few that I did were highly successful at “wowing” my husband and making him smile. :) The ideas range in complexity and cost. Some of them are freebies that you can do and some of them require substantial spending. The nice thing is that you don't have to go in any sort of order. You can pick and choose which ones to do and when to do them.

Pam Farrell's tone in 52 Ways to Wow Your Husband, is kind and humorous which makes for an quick and enjoyable read that is sure to enhance any marriage relationship.
