All husbands need men, who are a little down the road, to speak into their lives and marriage. Thats what reading Regis Campbells book, What Radical Husbands Do , is all about. It is like sitting across the table from a wise mans man who wants the best for your marriage.

Regi is a thorough and thoughtful companion in the inevitable tough places of marriage. His candid approach is brave and calls on the resilience of his readers. I look forward to recommending this for husbands who want a better marriage and are wanting wise, practical guidance.

Kathy Malcolm Hall, Licensed Professional Counselor

What Radical Husbands Do is the most practical book for rebuilding a marriage that I have ever read. Its perfect for any man wanting to save his marriage.

BILL JONES, President, Columbia International University

Regi is used of God to speak behind the masks men wear. He understands the lies we tell ourselves and shows us how we can allow others into that place to begin to alter the permission we give ourselves to fail. He teaches men, how to gain trusted permission, and how to speak with truth, grace and compassion. He directs men into true, life-giving freedom! I could not more highly endorse a book or friend more.

JOHN LYNCH, Author of On My Worst Day and
co-author of The Cure and Bos Cafe

Direct, straightforward manual for identifying problems and concrete, doable steps for customizing solutions that will work. Non-sugar coated, tell it like it is book that will reshape and benefit many lives.

BRENDA JONES, Happily married to Ted for 36 years

I first met Regi through About My Fathers Business - a book that launched my faith at work. I later had the great opportunity to be mentored by him in one of his Radical Mentoring groups - where Regi impacted me, my wife and my children in a really meaningful way. Now Regi has distilled some of the most powerful and time-tested marriage lessons for todays man in What Radical Husbands Do. I highly recommend this book to any guy looking for some practical advice on how he can own the success of his marriage.

Dave KATZ, SVP, Coca-Cola Consolidated

A raw, witty life lesson on how to win a wifes heart spoken by a true leader who missed it, then lived it no fluff, no quick tricks, but a fundamental choice to be different, a choice to excel at home, like he did at work spoken by a real man, for men. Are you ready?

PEYTON DAY, CEO, ROAM Innovative Workplaces

Finally a straightforward book for men who are serious about their marriage and not only want to be a better spouse, but a better man. Campbell provides a no excuses approach with logical and practical next steps. This book is a great tool for marriage counselors and husbands wanting to improve their marriage.

Rachel Holcomb, Licensed Counselor,
Director of Mentoring Systems, NPCC

When it comes to something as important as marriage it is vital to get it right! I found the message to be hard hitting, straightforward, honest and compelling. Not your average marriage advice book, this book is born of personal experience and built on practical advice. The application was clear and is drawn from the actual experience of the author. If you care about your marriage and family, you owe it to them and yourself to learn from someone who knows what he is talking about. And it might just RADICALLY transform your marriage life and future!

David Salyers, SVP, Chick-Fil-A and
Co-author, Remarkable!

Regis passion for this subject and his experiences, both personal and those garnered through mentoring others, comes through in such a useful way. Impactful book; much of which I had to endure while wincingThank you Sir, may I have another.

Rocky Butler, CEO, Alliance Precision Plastics

I like Regis writing style... honest, humble, real, practical, hopeful but it also does not sugar-coat just how hard this can be. I think this book will be an excellent resource for men with good marriages, bad marriages and everything in-between. I also like the fact that it is action oriented. When a mans marriage is dying, he needs practical steps that he can immediately take, not a change of his character which could takes months or years to happen. The practical steps will hopefully provide the means for the change of character to happen and it can save (or at least improve) his marriage in the meantime.

Bobby Reagan, Principal, Reagan Consulting

Preface

T his is a book written to men. Im a man, and what I have to say is to men.

Its a book about marriage. Your marriage. Not her marriage. Not their marriage. Your marriage.

What I have to say starts with a premise. Not everyone will buy into my premise but Im okay with that. Here it is...

The man determines the quality of his marriage.

Its not up to your wife. Its not up to the two of you together. Its up to you.

Why? Because you only control you. Youre the only variable in the equation you get to fill in. And you cant change the other variables. You cant change your wife, your mother-in-law or the past. You only control you... what you think, what you say and what you do.

Winning your wifes heart is everything. It is to marriage what the secret formula is to Coke. Win her heart and keep it and everything else is easy, or at least easier. You can substitute the word desires if youd like. When youve won her heart, her desires are for you and your marriage.

Its up to you to win and keep your wifes heart. You cant trade for it. Theres not a fixed amount of effort required. Theres no way to get there and then quit. Theres not even a guarantee youll succeed, no matter what you do.
