In When a Man Loves
a Woman, James Ford, Jr. explored the depths of the story of Jacob’s love
for Rachel. Jacob started travelling and he came upon a group of men waiting to
water their sheep. They saw Rachel coming to water her sheep and all of the men
just made excuses and didn’t offer to move the stone from the well. Jacob was
the only man who stood up and moved the stone for a woman! He made sure that her
sheep received the water they desperately needed. Jacob also went on and worked
fourteen years to win the hand of Rachel. The book led readers to engage in
working hard for their woman. An important key to any striving relationship is
communicating and listening to what our woman is feeling and going through. Men
struggle with communicating effectively and many times we don’t build up our wife
with enough positive words that bless her.
I immensely enjoyed when James Ford, Jr. revealed a story
that he started nine years ago and he continued to do for his wife. He
surprised her by randomly picking a night out of each year and he sends her out
with one of her friends. While she is out having a wonderful time, he works on preparing
her a home cooked meal and he cleans the house. He adds romance back by getting
creative and he chooses to display his love for her.
I would recommend this book to any man trying to
improving their relationship with their wife. If you’re married or single this
book will benefit and teach you what do to in your marriage. The book showed me
that it was extremely important to love your wife by listening, communicating,
and providing for her. Most men today don’t have the tenacity to assist with
earning the love of a woman. If we had to work fourteen years for a woman’s
hand some of us wouldn’t do it. Many of us struggle with waiting until having
sex until we are married. We want the pleasure now but not the commitment of
marriage. Some father-in-laws don’t have any requirements to display and prove that
we can provide for their daughter. I liked how Ford, Jr. didn’t sugarcoat the
truth about how to be a better husband. The one aspect that he demonstrated well
was being transparent about his relationship mistakes and triumphs. I have
never heard before and seen how the stone being removed from well had significant
meaning. The excuses we make for not helping a woman in need are endless. We
can blame and make excuses all we want to but it still won’t ever lead to
change unless we start moving forward. If you want your marriage to change,
improve, and thrive to greater capacity then this book is written to teach you
to become the man that a woman has always wanted and needed.
