The Dude's Guide to Marriage: Ten Skills Every Husband Must Develop to Love His Wife Well

This practical guide is written for husbands who want their marriages to flourish rather than merely get by. Darrin and Amie Patrick argue that wives are made to desire love, and that husbands can meet that need through deliberate, consistent action. The book sets out ten skills a husband can build, among them listening, pursuing his wife, and serving her. Each skill is presented as a clear step, so readers can work on them one at a time. The approach is grounded in a Christian view of marriage, presenting love as a choice a man makes day after day. It is aimed at men who are willing to grow and want a clearer path toward becoming the husband their wives need.
