“My husband and I were on the 15-year plan…taking almost 15 years before we began to understand one another. I wouldn’t recommend that plan for anyone. Instead I would wholeheartedly recommend Jay Payleitner’s book 52 Things Husbands Need from Their Wives. Wives—read it, apply it, and begin today to understand the man in your life.”—Kendra Smiley, speaker and author of Do Your Kids a Favor…Love Your Spouse and other books
