She could be full right now with the “daily infilling of the Holy Spirit” and with infusions of your love. Your wife’s spirit needs “gas in her car.” That’s where you come in as a praying husband. But as author Stormie Omartian says, “She needs fuel to make her run smoothly” regardless. She could be “efficient” and “dependable” or costly-a wife who needs a special amount of attention. Or perhaps she’s a low maintenance type of marriage partner. Your wife could be a person (like some automobiles) who requires high maintenance. If found that when I let go of my arrogance and prayed with the book, my life improved.“Your wife is like an automobile.” That appears to be a strange statement to make, isn’t it? Yes, it is… but it’s also true. We reread and redo the chapters pretty regularly and our marriage is more rewarding than ever before. Really folks, BOTH you and your spouse need to read BOTH editions before judging whether or not this author has an appropriate and Christian agenda. My wife and I keep our copies of our respective editions by the bed. I had to get "un-snoby" and read with the simple eyes of a man seeking to be a better and Christian husband. I spend most of my reading time on serious theology, scripture, and on the history of the early church.
Our lives have become happier.This is not an academic book. Our sex life improved and I received a greater sense of purpose in my manhood. My wife became less burdened and much more happy. I was lazy! I began to feel better about myself and more empowered, especially in that I was in charge of the finances and paying the bills etc. I was not an enlightened person in a modern marriage. I realized something through the process. I started to do so much MORE than I used to. I started picking up around the house to help her. I took control of our finances so my wife wouldn't have to worry about paying the bills. I also began "doing." I realize many readers of this review will probably think I am going to hell for this, but I believe that faith without works is dead, so I began acting on the implications of what is in the book.
I say "doing" because at the end of each chapter there are prayers, and I prayed them seriously. I can't hear God when I'm loud." I apologized and went to my study, and there on the book shelf was "The Power of a Praying Husband." Aright I thought, prayer is ALWAYS the best answer, lets pray,I began doing a chapter a day.
I nearly threw the book away, but instead shoved it into my bookshelf, assuming it to be yet another book by an undereducated fundamentalist someone decided to burden me with.However, my wife and I were arguing about something about six months later, and I thought to myself "stop yelling and get quiet. As a Catholic Christian I thought that spending a chapter on submission was ridiculous, outdated, and downright fundamentalist. A friend of mine some time ago gave my wife and I "The Power of a Praying Wife" and "The Power of a Praying Husband." When I first read the book I couldn't get through it.
