***************************************************************************************
now for last prize.
i was undecided all week about what to give on friday.
but this book kept coming back to mind.
this book made me think so much differently about my husband.
it was fascinating.
i learned all kinds of things that i just plain had no idea about.
it made me a better wife.
big time.
now when you read that it looks corny.
i agree.
but it isn't….it's helpful and very insightful into men's minds.
i think i changed a LOT after reading this book.
my thoughts about my husband changed, my expectations changed, my way of discussion,
my actions and initiatives changed after reading this.
i thought it was frustrating, irritating, interesting and sweet all at once.
there is a study guide to go with it also if you wanted to journal as you read.
i also bought 'for men only' and made him asked him nicely to read it to learn about me.
craig would look over at me and say "you're weird" every night while reading.
which was kind because while i read my book i would look at him and "what is the matter with you?!"
and he would look confused and say "what?"
and i answered "MEN! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"
he politely said "honey…you can't be angry with me for being a man. i didn't make myself this way"
and he was right.
they are wired they way they are for a reason.
honestly there was a lot in this book that made me MAD.
you will know what i mean when you read it.
i was so mad.
at all men.
every one of them.
you can read the first few pages here.
you can order it here.
i hope you do.
i gave my copy away.
i bought this copy yesterday for one of you.
and i am wondering if i should buy it again for myself.
i wished i had read it earlier in my marriage.
i almost gave it as a wedding gift last year but i chickened out.
i received Marriage books at my wedding but i never read them because…to quote Miranda
"yeah it's all so hot 3 days in!"
i didn't need marriage and respect books when we were newlyweds.
but at 10 years…i could see some need for improvement by me.
and this book really helped me.
since we are talking about men…..
leave a comment to win this book today telling me
in your opinion…the most handsome celebrity man right now.
i wouldn't doubt if 500 of you say George Clooney because he could easily be everyone's answer.
and then…go order this book.

Meg- I picked up a copy of For Women Only today. And while I was at the bookstore, I also found For Parents Only by the same authors! So ready to start reading them! Thanks for the push in the right direction!
