52 Things Husbands Need from Their Wives

What Wives Can Do to Build a Stronger Marriage


“I don’t always understand what he needs or wants from me.” Most wives want a heart-to-heart connection with their husbands. But men often communicate their needs in ways that seem strange to women. How to bridge the gap?

Straight from a veteran dad and husband come these insightful, unexpected, and occasionally offbeat ideas. Bestselling author Jay Payleitner digs deep to give practical insight into how a woman can

  • see the ways her husband does want to connect…which may be different than what she expects
  • encourage him—not overwhelm him—with her words

A Word from the Author


“I know what you’re thinking. ‘Hey Jay, you write books for guys. What makes you think you can write a book for women?’ Well, look at the title again. It’s 52 Things Husbands Need… I’ve been married 33 years. I have three married sons. I’ve been in four different men’s small groups sharing life with about 25 different guys—all married. I’ve talked to thousands of dads who desperately want to lead their families. I absolutely, positively know what husbands need. And now you can too.”
Jay Payleitner, author of 52 Things Husbands Need from Their Wives

“My husband and I were on the 15-year plan…taking almost 15 years before we began to understand one another. I wouldn’t recommend that plan for anyone. Instead I would wholeheartedly recommend Jay Payleitner’s book 52 Things Husbands Need from Their Wives. Wives—read it, apply it, and begin today to understand the man in your life.”
