Customer Reviews

New husband delivered on Wednesday!

Have a New Kid by Friday worked so well with my teenager that i couldn't wait to Have a New Husband as well. This process was actually simpler to change my husband and i saw definite changes by Wednesday instead of Friday! I learned to rethink what i would normally say and also learned to respond differently, which made all the difference in his attitude toward me. Even though we've been married 19 years, i learned more about him just by observing and trying to see life through his eyes. It shouldn't have taken me this long to find out that he is so easy to please. I have bought four more copies of this book to give to my friends who are frustrated with their husbands attitudes. My husband has opened up to talk easier to me in the last couple of weeks and lets me know what he's thinking. I would highly recommend this book to every wife, no matter how long you've been married, i was pleasantly surprised that just a tiny change on my part made such a huge difference in my husband!

An eye-opener

I've always prided myself on not nagging my husband. We've been married more than 20 years, and I sort of thought I wouldn't be teaching my old dog any new tricks. Well, I am just over half way through this book, and he's already learning new tricks (wink). I guess I am really the old dog who is learning the new tricks - regardless, it's working. I am now catching myself asking "why" or repeating what I ask my husband to do. I think I'd been nagging more than I would have thought. A couple of weeks ago, I asked him two or three times to fix a leaking toilet. After a few days, I called the plumber. It was very minor and fixed in a matter of minutes. My husband saw the paid bill and almost choked at $90 for 10 minutes of work. I didn't say a word until he asked. I then explained that I'd asked him a few times, but figured since he didn't get around to it that he must be very busy, so I called someone. A few days later the ice maker started acting up.... yep, he fixed it the first time I asked. No fussing, no nagging.... just results.

Glad we read it!

My wife picked up this book after hearing Dr. Leman at his seminar. I saw her reading it and was interested in the title. I thought, "Does she really need a NEW husband? Am I that bad?" Turns out, I was not bad at all and this book helped us to open up more in our communications. I see a difference in how my wife treats me, which I have to say is really great! Thanks Doc!!! I read it myself when she was done and was overall impressed. This is a book to strengthen your relationship with your spouse--and who doesn't need that every now and then? I'd highly recommend this book!

Another Outstanding Read From Dr. Kevin Leman!

Kevin Leman has penned another wonderful non-fiction work. This book should be tucked into every woman's hope chest! "Have A New Husband By Friday" is laugh-out-loud funny! It is also the absolute truth! It will make you think. It'll bring you to tears. It will change the way you treat your man - and the way he treats you. GUARANTEED! Although the results are wonderful, having a new husband by Friday requires a bit of effort. Still, it is worth every moment spent reading this informative and entertaining book and acting on what Dr. Leman suggests. When I was given the opportunity to read this book, I asked my husband if he would be okay with me reading a book entitled "Have A New Husband By Friday". After assuring him that I wasn't planning to replace him in a week after 22 years of marriage, he gave me the shrug and grunt. So I got the book and put it on the kitchen counter. Within two days, my husband had read the book, attested to the truth of it, and was leaving me notes around the house and putting the book where he knew I would see it. He kept asking if I'd finished it, yet. He said I had to finish it this week so I could pass it on to our daughter who just got married. I think I'll need to get it for her on CD since she doesn't like to read.
