Finding the Hero in Your Husband, Revisited: Embracing Your Power in Marriage

In an update of the groundbreaking original title, Dr. Juli Slattery illuminates the power of women in marriage, with an emphasis on the uniqueness of a woman's capacity to build intimacy.

What do you do if your husband won't get a job? When you don't like the way he's parenting the kids? How do you know when to stand up to a controlling husband--or if you've become a controlling or manipulative wife?

Many women feel lost in their marriages. They don't know what to do with their disappointment, when to ask for help, or what it looks like to let go of the need to control. Yet, God has given women incredible power in marriage--but they have to learn how to use it.

In a complete rewrite of her bestselling book, Finding the Hero in Your Husband, psychologist Dr. Juli Slattery gently guides women to see how their attempts to manage or fix the messiness of marriage may actually undermine the very connection they want to build.

As you read this book, you will:

• See how disappointment in marriage isn't the end of intimacy, but an opportunity to build true intimacy that will go the distance.
• Learn to use your relational power in a way that builds intimacy--instead of sabotaging it.
• Recognize the ways you unknowingly sabotage intimacy by using your power to take over in marriage.
• Understand what biblical submission isn't and be empowered to step into the influence and responsibility you have within marriage.

Solidly grounded in biblical truth, Juli covers topics such as work, home life, conflict, and intimacy. As a mentor and friend, she offers explanations of God's design, healthy expectations, and relatable applications that women of faith can practice to influence their marriage and deepen their relationship with God. Ultimately, Finding the Hero in Your Husband, Revisited, will help a wife more clearly see and encourage the hero within her husband by examining her own heart.
