I pictured myself as a clean slate, a blank canvas ready to be filled in with actions that would result in a picture-perfect marriage. Most husbands have the perception that their marriage started on their wedding day. With that in mind, I want to share some new thoughts at the beginning of this updated edition of the book. In review, I was glad to observe that the 12 core principles really do matter as much as ever.īut as I reflected on what I have learned since I wrote the book, I began to realize that many of the issues I faced as a husband could have been alleviated if I had better understood my heart and how it affected my actions, including everything I have done or will do in my marriage. It was a good exercise in seeing whether my thinking had changed with regard to the book’s subtitle-that is, the 12 Things That Really Matter in Your Marriage. Recently my publisher asked me to revisit this book, A Husband After God’s Own Heart, which I had written 12 years before.
