each other and discover what we can do to let them know that we love and respect them, the bettter our relationships are.
There are 24 short chapters in Capture His Heart . Each chapter contains a little story to help you understand the concept a little better. Lysa provides a “Relationship Builder” exercise at the end of each chapter to challenge you to put what you have learned into action. She then ends each chapter with a “Thought for the Day”. Capture His Heart could be read as a daily devotional or for an eight week study group. (There is a section at the back of the book with discussion questions for an eight week study group.)
Lysa TerKeurst surveyed hundreds of men and based on those results, she shares that “there are eight basic concepts that the heart of your man wants you to know. ” Husbands want their wives to know that husbands need their wives to:
- support them spiritually
- encourage them emotionally
- enjoy them sexually
- appreciate them vocationally
- engage them intellectually
- connect with them relationally
- affirm them physically
- stand by them permanently.
Sounds easy enough? I know it doesn’t sound easy to me. I wish I could say that I am fulfilling all of the above desires of my husband, but I can’t. I can say that I want to and I want to be intentional about trying to do these things. This book will help you do so. There are three chapters in the book for each of the eight concepts. You really could skip around in the book and read the sections first that might seem to be a priority at the moment. This is a book that you could refer back to when you are feeling that you have been slacking in being the wife your husband desires. The relationship builders will help you to focus on being a better wife by loving your husband the way he desires to be loved.
