For Women Only

Jun 4–5, 2007 - comments: 10

Have you ever wondered what was secretly going on in the mind of that man of yours? Like many women, happily married author and newspaper columnist Shaunti Feldhahn thought she understood men. While researching a book she was writing she began to interview men to see what they thought about some intimate subjects. What she discovered was an eye-opening experience for her, and I think it will be for you, too.

Even long-married women who think they understand men have only scratched the surface. Beneath a man’s rugged exterior is an even more rugged, unmapped terrain. What bestselling author Shaunti Feldhahn’s research reveals about the inner lives of men will open women’s eyes to what the men in their life – boyfriends, brothers, husbands, and sons – are really thinking and feeling. Men want to be understood, but they’re afraid to “freak out” the women they love by confessing what is happening inside their heads. This book will guide women in how to provide the loving support that modern men want and need.

I heard what u said today. I don’t cry when hurt I to get angery.
when I ask my husband to pull in to get directions it’s not because I don’t trust him it’s because he dosen’t know how to get there, and we have been driving around for a long . He will say he is lost but we are making good time. and we both laugh. I don’t nag him.
There have been times that he has asked me if I didn’t think we should pull in some place and ask directions, sometimes I will say what ever u think. the ball is in u r court.
He will cry sometimes when he is hurt, I think it takes a man to show his feelings and not keep them pend up inside until he explodes and says things he can’t take back, and can’t repair the damage that is done in anger.
this works for us.
I don’t understand him all the time, nor him me
but we work through with prayer.
I do think respect is earned, love is unconditional.

U might not even read this, but this is my thoughts.
Shalom
be blessed

Last night, driving to work, I heard the broadcast and it was like it was on just for me. I finally got my husband to open up two nights ago about what has been his “hidden issue”. He revealed he feels like he works all the time and is not respected for how hard he works at his full-time and part-time job to support the family. He feels torn between spending time with our family and supporting it so I don’t have to work full-time and can be home with our kids when he is at work.  At the same time I was complaining about feeling unloved because he was staying up late to do his part-time job instead of coming to bed. I have been praying for not even a full day about what I can do to make him feel more needed and respected. I am going to try and get this book. Thank you for answering a prayer and allowing God to use you to speak to my hear.
Peace of Christ

I have been married to a wonderful Christian man for 23 years who does a great job at articulating his thoughts, but this broadcast put words to his *feelings* like I have never heard or understood before.  Bravo! And, thank you!

This is the second time I’ve heard this program.  It is a little to late for me.  My husband and I both did all of the wrong things and divorced in 2001.  I wish I’d had this information then maybe we would still be together.  We had three children together.  I have never remarried however he remarried two days after we divorced.  I can’t believe how wrong I was in all of this.  I always thought it was all his fault.  I pray that others out there will ask God to direct them and change them into his likeness so that they will not go through divorce.  It is not the answer that you think it will be.  I have suffered much more than I did when I was married.
I will be buying your book so my children will have a chance to have a better understanding of relationships with their future spouces.  They are 21,20,15 and not dating anyone.  I don’t want the mess ups that their father and I have made to cause the ripple effect.
Thanks so much!

I listened to your broadcast this evening 08-18-06. I have never heard anyone verbalize my inner feelings before tonight. I am a male 43 years old and I want to hear more about myself…so that I can get in tuned to what is going on inside me.

As a man I found this program vital in many ways. I listened to it in Kansas City while on a business trip and as I listened several thoughts that I had been pondering were brought together. I’d like to thank a woman author who saw that men and women do not think the same way (thank God!) and a radio station that was willing to air the interview (thank God again!).

God bless.

Great program and looking forward to reading the book.  I love this website too.  It is our anniversary tonight and it was a great segway to our evening together.  Thanks for following your heart and sharing with so many.

Christ’s peace!

I heard portions of both days on the radio broadcast. i heard so much about myself and the ways that i have felt in my most recent relationship, and only wish that this woman could understand and realize that men are like they are. i believe that this book could potentially save many from failed relationships in the near future. praise the Lord!

I’d like to comment on “T’s” statement at the top of this thread.  Remember that while respect is earned as you say, and love is unconditional, women are not off the hook if their man hasn’t earned respect.  As it says in Ephesians, men are commanded to LOVE their wives—quite ardently!—while women are commanded to respect their husbands.

I loved the programs.

I am so grateful to Shaunti Feldhahn’s work and for the Richard Land program for airing this information.  My wife and I have worked with couples in the church for years.  It’s nearly always the guy that has the finger pointed at him.  But there are powerful subtleties working in unrecognized ways that are difficult to bring out.  I have always believed that women have great power (though few realize it) to build or destroy a man. This is not to say that men aren’t wrong a substantial portion of the time.  ‘For Women Only’ articulates well what’s been so hard to bring out to couples.  This will greatly help my wife and me in ministering to couples in our church.  I am going to get an aired program copy and loan it to as many couples as I can.  Thanks so much!
