7 ways to be her
hero by Doug Fields is without hesitation one of the best books for
men to read. It doesn't matter how long you have been married its for
us all. Not to mention these are good truths to learn and begin to
memorize wile you are single. Doing that might just save you from
having to weed through a lot of junk later on. This is a book written
in such a way that it feels like you're having a conversation one on
one, man to man. You don't have to read long in the book before you
realize that he is used to talking to men about things that men deal
with. It has helped me see my relationship with my wife in a new way,
and opened my eyes to things that I thought i had worked out, but
still need to work on.
The number one thing
that stuck out the most two me was his 5 minute rule. I know it might
be simple to most, but it has changed so much of my priorities. For
those of you who haven't read the book what the five minute rule is,
is dedicating the first five minutes to the person your choosing at
that time. So when you come home from work what are you doing in the
first five minutes? Saying hello to your wife giving her a kiss,
talking to your kids, or getting on your phone, or putting your stuff
down and just wanting to be alone. What we do in the first five
minutes can set the tone for the evening so don't waste them.
