Every woman is given a power that can bring about change, growth, and the fulfillment of potential in the significant man in her life. And most men need encouragement from their women or they often sink into depression and hopelessness that saps their creative energy, dampens initiative, and destroys relationships. Norman Wright claims that a woman's encouragement is more important than you realize. "What happens when a man is not encouraged? A discouraged man ends up feeling hopeless, helpless, and handcuffed to his situation in life. Confidence is absent. Life is unfair, and the scales are constantly tipped against him. The pessimistic expectations he develops can set him up for failure." But a woman's encouragement can make a vital difference in a man's outlook. "Encouragement is letting the other person know, 'You matter to me.' Encouragement is building up a person. It's focusing on any resource which can be turned into an asset or strength."

He shows you what works and what doesn't; when to talk and when to listen; what to say and what not to say, and the difference between encouragement and nagging.
