      This book is designed to be used as a reference or informational resource only. It is not designed to be used as an actual blueprint or action plan for any individual relationship. Everyone is different and everyone’s relationship is different. Therefore some or all of the information contained in this book might not apply or be appropriate for any one particular relationship. The writers and distributors of this book assume no responsibility for the suitability, use or application of any or all parts of this book. The reader assumes the responsibility for deciding the appropriate information and resulting course of action.

      Introduction

      First of all, thank you so much for buying this book as I am sure it was not an easy thing to do. But the fact that you looked for it, purchased it and even opened it means that you have a real interest in creating a better relationship with your spouse. I congratulate you for that and am sure you will find just what you are looking for in the following pages.

      If you are one of the many men who were given this book by their spouse or partner, well, she means well and you can either consider this a subtle hint or an indication that she too has a real interest in creating a stronger and deeper relationship with you. Either way, she gave it to you but you at least have opened it and have started reading so that is a good sign for you as well.

      There are a lot of topics covered in this book that will make most men uncomfortable. But the great thing about reading that information is that you can do so in the privacy of your own home or office or wherever you want. So there is no reason to be uncomfortable or embarrassed or even hesitant about reading any part of this book.

      I have tried very hard to present the content of this book in such a way that men can easily relate to it and understand it. Men and women are very different creatures and what comes easy to a man might not for a woman and vice versa. But it is these very same differences that make us much more special along with much more difficult to understand.

      This book is also going to discuss some old values that need to be either adjust or modified. Some of them need to be thrown right out the window as well! That is because society has changed and in order to be successful with other people we must learn to change along with them.

      Change is another aspect of life that both men and women have the same opinion of. For most of us, we don’t like change. Some of us even hate it. We like things the ways that they are especially if it seems to be working for us. The old saying If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it most certainly does not apply to our relationships.

      The thing about relationships is that even though they might seem fine on the surface, there are always things you can do to make them better, deeper and stronger. In fact, if you don’t do these things, even the best relationship is bound to become strained and weaker over time. But the good news is that you can relax because what we are going to ask you to do is quite easy and anyone can do them.

      It doesn’t matter who you are or how much money you earn, there are things you need to do within your relationship and they are not related to money. Whether you are a CEO who earns $10 million a year or a fast food clerk making $8.00 an hour, you can all do the things we discuss in this book.

      To start, there are a few things we need to get straight right from the start.

      First, you should read this book with an open mind. There will be things you can related to and other things that you might disagree with. That’s perfectly fine because everyone is different and everyone reacts to things in different ways and has a different set of values and morals. So as you read this book, read every page, even if it doesn’t apply to you or you might disagree with it. You just need to understand the content not actually use it. But sometimes reading a new view or an opposite viewpoint can make us change our attitude just a little bit. And sometimes a little bit makes a lot of difference.

      Second, this book contains a lot of information. It has well over 26 ways that you can become a better husband. That does not mean you have to change over 26 things about you. In reality you are probably doing some of these things already which means you are ahead of the game a bit.

      The best way to improve any behavior or tackle any sort of problem is to identify the one or two main things you can do that will give you the most return for your efforts. In this case it would be the top one or two behaviors that are causing most of your problems. Then tackle just those one or two things until they are no longer an issue and move on to the next one or two and so on.

      Never try to change too much all at one. That is the best way to guarantee complete failure. When we try to do too much, too fast we find the effort overwhelming and too intensive. So we quit and the result is that nothing gets changed and we are right back where we started from. Our focus should always be on long-term success. This is the type of success that doesn’t last weeks or months but years and years.

      Third, you may find that certain information in this book is repeated. This is not an error or copywriting mistake but some information may be relevant or apply to several different topics. For example, you will read about the importance of communication and because communication is part of so many areas of our relationships, you will read about it in multiple places.

      We do this for two reasons. First and foremost, the information is important and the more you read it the more likely it is that you will remember it better and for a longer period of time. Second, since many people do not go through books like these from page 1 and read it through to the end, we wanted to make sure that regardless of where you start or in what order you might read it in, that you will be able to understand everything and how it relates to your relationship.

      So let’s get started and remember read everything even though you don’t think it might apply to you or your relationship. Reading everything helps us get a more well-rounded idea of what is involved in creating a great relationship and it will be well worth your time to read every word.

      All the Way In

      We often hear how relationships are a partnership and everything is shared 50-50. Well, that may be perfectly fine when it comes to sharing personal property and chores around the house, but it does not work well for the actual relationship itself. When it comes to our relationships, and caring for our partners and spouses, we must be all in the relationship and not just committed 50-50.

      Relationships work best when both partners are committed 100% to the health and well-being of the relationship. That means each partner is 100% dedicated to the other and does not worry about who is right and what is fair and what he gets in return for something that he has done. When we start trying to balance the scales when it comes to commitment that is when we start to have real troubles.

      All too often we will hear one partner say something like Well, if she won’t do her part, then why should I do my part? While that is a good question, it also has a very good answer. You should always do your part even when your spouse doesn’t do her part because it is the right thing to do. A husband cannot control what his wife does or doesn’t do but he has complete control over the things that he does. If the husband doing something will help make the relationship better or help resolve a problem, there are very few good reasons for not doing it.

      All too often spouses get in the habit of balancing scales within the relationship. They try and balance what they do against what the other person does to make sure they are not doing more than the other person. Not only is this foolish, it is downright child-like and stupid. We should worry about the things we do or do not do and not what someone else does or doesn’t do.

      Relationships are full of give and take and compromises. Nowhere is it written that both partners must do exactly the same amount within the relationship. And nowhere is it written that if your spouse doesn’t do something then you get a pass from doing your part.

      So now you know that you are responsible for your actions and that you should also be doing whatever you can to help make your relationship better and your partner happier. The question most men have at this point is How do I go about doing this while not being taken advantage of? That’s a pretty good question and here is the answer:

      If you know something you can do that will result in making your relationship better or will make your partner happier, just go ahead and do it. Change your thought process from Why should I do it? to What can I do to help make things better? Once you change your focus from why to how your entire approach should change as well.

      Many relationships fail when one or both people stop looking for ways to make their partners happier and
