Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-277). God desires for you to have a husband who's relationally healthy emotionally engaged, and spiritually maturing. In Loving Him Well, Gary Thomas builds on concepts from his bestselling book Sacred Marriage to reveal the inner workings of a man's heart and mind. He delves into Scriptures that help women gain biblical insight on influencing their husbands. In addition to exploring the research of neuroscientists, trained counselors, and abuse victim advocates, Gary has interviewed dozens of wives to find out what's worked and what hasn't as they've sought to build the best marriage possible. In this updated version of Sacred Influence, Gary outlines practical applications you can begin using today. You'll discover true influence and peace of mind when you go first to God for your worth, validation, protection, and provision and then learn to use that platform to help your husband draw closer to you and closer to God. After another decade of ministering to married couples from various walks of life and gaining new sensitivity for the many issues facing women today, Gary has rewritten Sacred Influence, adding new stories and fresh illustrations to help wives understand, love, and influence their husbands. Loving Him Well offers encouragement and biblically based support for the transformation of your marriage, drawing you and your husband closer together in the way God intended. Book jacket. 20250701.
