 I would give this book MORE than 5 stars! October 29, 2008
I agree with one of the other reviewers that this is one of the best books I have ever read. I had insights on practically every page in this book. It was awesome. I could not put it down. This book made a HUGE difference in my marriage and how I now view my marriage. It is about me changing and not waiting on my spouse to change. This book gave me a fresh new perspective I had never really thought about before. I am much happier and my marriage is SO much better.
I am currently reading Sacred Marriage and Sacred Parenting and those are great too. Gary Thomas is a truly gifted author.
excellent read September 10, 2008
I bought this book after recently getting married. Once I started reading it I could not put it down. It's one I definitely plan on reading again once we have been married a few years and the "new-ness" has worn off.
 Horrible September 10, 2008

Gary Thomas is the last man on earth that should be writing a book for women. Sacred Influence is SO demeaning, I actually had to stop myself from ripping up the pages as I was reading them. Generalizations all over the place - none which even remotely describe me or my experience. This is the kind of book that actually destroys marriages because it doesn't teach you how to get to know and grow with your partner. It places all men in the same category ("this is how men are, therefore X..") and does the same for women ("this is how you are/must be, and if not, you are not godly..") This is not Biblically-based teaching, it is Gary Thomas' impressions of women and what they are like. Don't waste your time or money on this one!
One of the best books I've ever read June 11, 2008
I've read a lot of marriage/relationship books, including Sacred Marriage (which I also loved), but this has got to be one of the very best. Not only does Gary Thomas review important concepts about Christian wifehood, but he also gives practical examples/advice without sounding like a 5-step program. Reading it REALLY opened my eyes to ways that I was not handling situations in the best way to help/influence my husband, and also ways that I was still expecting him to think/act like a woman, which is totally unfair. Thomas also helped me understand what my husband was REALLY saying when he said certain things and what he was feeling, and why.
I've only had this book for a week, but I'm almost done with it and can already see how applying the principles is helping me and my husband's relationship. I would recommend it to any wife or engaged woman.
