I simply can't say enough great things about this book! In just one week, I've noticed some pretty huge changes in my relationship with my husband (in a good way)!
The author, Kathi Lipp, has very generously offered to give away one copy of her book to one of my visitors both this week and next week! AND she will sign it for the winner!! :)
For an entry this week (Make Sure to leave an email so I can notify you if you are the winner):
1. Leave a comment with a suggestion of how to show your husband how much you love and appreciate him (after all, in two more weeks, I will have done all the projects in the book - so I need some more great ideas!).
2. Join me! Check out a few of my project posts and do one for your husband, then come back and let me know what you thought!
3. Leave a thoughtful comment on the review over at Wendi's Book Corner.
Whether or not you have a wonderful relationship with your husband, I encourage you to be a part of my journey over the next month or so (yes, things can happen, and it may take me longer than the planned 21 days!) at The Husband Project ~ A Wife's Journey.
Open to residents of the United States and Canada. The drawing will be held Monday February 23rd - Good luck!!

My husband drinks coffee every day, and the coffee pot is disgusting. I found this link to help clean it: http://www.howtocleanthings.com/how-to-clean-coffee-maker.htm
I was so hoping to get a chance to win this book. One thing I do for my husband is to leave short little love notes where he'll find them; stuck to his steering wheel, on the milk jug, on the bathroom mirror, etc. I leave them in places where I know he'll see them.

My husband doesn't like to pick up after himself, but that's my only complaint. I love him nevertheless! Thanks for the giveaway!
actually listen to him
I'm really bad about having dinner ready when he gets home, yet I know it's something he likes. That would be something I could do for him. (As a side note this is not entirely my fault. Hehe - totally making excuses here. My husband commutes 20 miles on his bicycle, and I never know when he's going to get home. So I do my best to get dinner done before he gets home, but sometimes I just wait until he's there so that I know dinner's not going to be ruined.)

I do try to fix his favorite foods a good part of the time.

Thank you for a great giveaway. One of the things I like to do for my husband daily is to turn his bed on - we have a heated pad on our bed with each side with its own controls and he likes his full blast so when we put the kids to bed at 8pm I turn it on and when we go to bed a few hours later its nice and toasty for him. Helps him sleep and helps his aches. Thank you

I always greet him when he comes in from work and discuss his day.
my husband left all his clothes in a basket, and will fet things only after i harp
My boyfriend has diabetes, and it is vey important that his feet are examined. I rub his feet with lotion every night, while checking for problems. He loves the attention, and it only takes a few minutes!

Allowing him to love his motorcycle as much as he loves me :-)
Interesting book I'd really like to win.

would love to read this book, my hubbie is a clean freak and it drives me nuts
I once ironed all of his shirts to surprise him... Wow - this project of yours has me thinking that I don't do as much as I think I do...

I try not to fill up his to-do list with too many things...to give him time to concentrate on one thing at a time

My husband loves it when I clean...he says it turn him on...he also likes it when I learn to cook new things...he likes changing it up a bit.

my husband does landscaping and after particularly hard days i rub his back, arms, neck and legs before he goes to bed
My husband is now disabled and as a result, our relationship has been strained!
thanks for this great giveaway. My husband works long hours and appreciates homecooked meals each night which I prepare. I know it means a great deal to him.
I make sure to ready and pack his lunch every day :)
Coffee pot :)

I cook his favorite meals for nearly each time we eat together.
I make sure everynight we go to bed I kiss him goodnight and tell him I love him.

I make my hubby's coffee, breakfast and lunch every day for work. Also send love notes occassionaly to tell him how much I love him. trinitygsd at yahoo dot com
When my hubby comes home for work every night I have his clothes for the next day and his pjs waiting in the bathroom for him. I also have the small heater going warming the bathroom so he will be warm and toasty when he steps out of the shower.
What a neat book! I think planning an evening away from the kids would be perfect.
I cook his favorite foods.

I actually listen to what he says. some people are present when their spouse speaks but they don't listen. I listen to what he says, I ask questions and acknowledge what he says. that is a gift more of us should give our spouses.

I make sure the door is open, and the outside lights are on when he comes home at night. Makes it easier for him to get in the house to relax. iwontru@yahoo
I try to listen to him when he tells me how bad his days are - it's hard and depressing in todays economy. We have been together over 20 years so this book could really help us out.
Bake him chocolate chip cookies! His favorite.
I'll get up with the kids when they wake early and let him stay in bed. (We alternate days, but sometimes I skip mine)
sounds interesting
I make sure the porch light is on these dark evenings to welcome him home from work. And if he's going on a business trip, sometimes I iron the shirts for him. My husband likes to do the grocery shopping, but he doesn't like to put the stuff away. So I usually do that part.
Isn't it funny how none of us "posters" mentioned more sex...?

I am 38 and egaged for the first time--we have a great relationship, but I am always open to more ways to show my fiance how much my daughter and I appreciate how fantastic he is. drumooney@yahoodotcom

I try to do little things. Buy the kind of expensive coffee he likes at the grocery store. Do his ironing for him (he knows I hate to iron and he usually does it himself). Call him in the middle of the day for no reason just to talk. Thanks for teh chance to win.
I try to do some little things every day to let him know how much I love him. I let him sleep in. I dust and vacuum, although I am not nearlyas bothered as him with a wee bit of dust. I cook his favorite meal. Things like that.
Always try to make contact everyday...no matter how busy. even if you write it in a note to give to him later. Been married 15 years and always communicate in some way(at least "hey sexy" on a daily basis).
It's a shame I am not married but...my sis in law would appreciate this book :o)
This sounds like a wonderful book! Sure could use it. A way to make him feel good, would be to bring in the wood on a cold day when he's been out working so when he gets home its already done.
let him have some time of his own con5459(at)gmail(dot)com
My husband loves an orderly home. Despite my natural tendencies to be a laid-back spirit I do my best to respect his wishes and now we are both happier, plus, our home is always guest ready!
Buy him some sexy underwear. garrettsambo@aol.com
Sounds similar to the love dare. I'd love to read it. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would give this to my daughter.
I cook him his favorite foods to show him I love him!
The best thing to do for your husband is to listen. When you see what he is about it is easier to respond to him.
I tell him often how much I appreciate how hard he works.
