Discover the marriage you've always hoped for. With practical tools to help you communicate more effectively, you'll learn to speak the language of love and grace that will encourage and strengthen your husband at every turn.

Ann Wilson spent more than a decade longing for a better marriage and for her husband to be more attentive, more involved, more helpful, and just all-around better. And every chance she got, she told him so. Where she thought she was being helpful, she was instead badgering him with constant critiques until all he heard was, "Boo! Boo!" when they were together. It almost broke their marriage. But Ann discovered the power that God has given wives.

No matter how long you've been married, you don't need to spend another minute hoping and wishing for things to be different. They can! And the power is in your hands.

In this motivating, honest new book, Ann—marriage coach and bestselling author with her husband, Dave—shares how she breathed new life into her marriage by stewarding one of the most powerful gifts believers inherit from the Creator: encouragement. God has given wives a superpower to influence their husbands and homes, and you can use that power to build up and encourage your man to be a better husband, father, and man of God while still speaking truth to him. Relatable, encouraging, biblical, and funny, Ann shares stories from her own life, as well as valuable insights from Scripture, to help you:

  • Address the ways you process and justify your communication patterns
  • Seek spiritual and relational (re)alignment with both your husband and God
  • Learn to exercise self-control and demonstrate radical grace in conversations with your husband
  • Begin to cheer more than boo—in a way that isn't put on, fake, or inauthentic
  • Learn to speak truth in a way your husband can really hear you
  • And, ultimately, cultivate a grace-based marriage that thrives

Real people in real relationships have real problems, but with God's help, you can heal and sustain your marriage for a lifetime.

Excellent book!

I’ve listened to Ann and Dave Wilson’s story many times on family life today. This book is so much more applicable then just with your husband. It is great wisdom for how to speak to your kids and parents and siblings, and that difficult boss and coworker. It is also a great encouragement on cheering on and building up your husband, speaking words of life. A husband can read this and know how to better communicate with his wife also. It’s inspiring. Thank you Dave and Ann for helping our marriage have more life and love in it than “boos”.

Way more than the title.

As I began listening to your book, I could not get over how much our personalities and the way we handle conflict are so similar. I am at a crossroads in my marriage and I want to surrender and give up all control. I pray that the same thing will happen in my marriage that happened in yours. This book is a life changer if I can only get out of my own way. Thank you so much for your honesty your humility and your non-judgmental spirit. May God continue to bless and honor your marriage.

I am you!
