The Husband’s Guide to Getting Lucky Book Review

Sorry it has been so long since I have written

Marla Taviano hits the nail on the head. What a good read. I hope that every guy I know reads this book. If more couples would read this book and "Is That All He Thinks About", I think I would see a lot more smiles on a lot more faces. I am in total agreement with what Marla has found in her survey of married men, I hear the same responses from men all the time and when I ask how the react to the wives I understand why they say what they do. Guys take heed to these words of wisdom, listen to what Marla says about God's plan on how to treat your wife. If you want to get lucky you better treat her the way God wants you too. Wives you need to listen up too, this is a two way street, Marla has good advice for you, respond to your husband make him your hero. Marla thank you for your honest straight forward talk just the way a guy wants and needs to hear the truth. I appreciate that you don't beat around the bush you tell it like it is and are unashamed of the truth. Guys you need to read this and then sit down with your wives and discuss it or at least try the 30 day challenge and pray hard. Get the book right here http://www.husbandsgetlucky.com/

Build a Rod and Leave a Legacy

Deserve is a strong word. Do I want the A Hook & Hackle “Xi” 7’9” 4-piece 3 weight rod building kit! from HookHack.com. You better believe I want the kit. Why you may ask? because it is a project of lasting importance. Something I could create with my son. A piece of Art he could hold and use to touch something wild and beautiful. Have you ever caught a smallmouth bass on a bugger you tied, what a sense of fulfillment! My son ties beautiful flies and I am honored that I have used them to catch many fish. What a gift to him, to fashion a rod that he could use to catch the fish and live a life of adventure. Maybe these adventures would lead him to fish the Appalachians and write a blog like http://southernblueridge.wordpress.com/. I have used rods that my grandfather and father have used and felt the sporting legacy they left for me. I want to pass that legacy to my son and his future children and their children. What a gift to think that a rod that he and I built together could be used in 80 years by my great, great grandchildren. This is what creating Art is about leaving a lasting legacy for our future children.

Adventure and Man

Christ created us to be warriors and have adventure. When the Word says to Love your wife as Christ Loved the Church I agree, give yourself up for her as a ransom but the other part of that is she, the bride is called to a life of adventure and sacrifice to go with you. We are the Bride of Christ and it is not a stay at home and put away your swords obligation; oh to the contrary it is bring your sword and join the battle. As a couple you must understand that you as the husband will give yourself up for your bride, however you as the bride and wife have to run with your husband head long into adventure. You married your man because he was a man; at least I hope you did. If you fell in love with his laid back spirit and his sense of adventure why is it now that you seek to emasculate him and want him to play house and wear chinos and loafers. Christ didn’t just seek to avoid conflict he met it head on.
Moms, wives don’t cut your boys, husband off at the knees and crush their spirit. Don’t cut their balls off and tell them that guns and rough housing and fighting are wrong. God created boys, husbands to be men and those are the courses taken to become/be a man. Men if you were told that was wrong and to behave then stand up and go outside, leave the computer and the gaming systems and find a true and real adventure. Wives run after your husbands, go find adventure with him, go with him be a part of his journey. Moms told us to behave and wear clean clothes wash your hands, don’t go down by the water, be careful, and stay safe. WHAT were we taught, were we taught to be little girls so we could grow up to be a man?
Are you safe? Are you safe with your man, not the kind of safe like we watch PBS and listen to Mariah Carey, but the kind of safe that says he defends you and will fight for you?
