As a pastor if I am counceling a woman with an unbelieving husband I always give them this book to go and read. It often precludes many problems and solves many others leaving me to deal with the more pressing or difficult issues
Hard Work -- But worth it!

This book is honest and upfront. One of the best books that I ever read on marriage! There are "workshops" at the end of each chapter for you to get what you just read straight from the Bible! This book will help your marriage, but more importantly make you grow in walk with Christ! I highly recommend this book to women who feel hopeless, lonely and frustrated!
Wonderful biblically-based counsel for women

What a wonderful relief it was to find this book! It's an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand guide about a relationship that can be so challenging & so emotional. I strongly recommend this to any woman who finds herself unequally yolked. The best part is that the entire book is based on God's word and knowing He has a plan for those of us in this situation.
Changed My Marriage!

I came on-line to search for this book because I fell in love with it 7 years ago and wanted to get it for a friend. How thrilled I am to be able to right a review about a book that has meant so much to me. This is one of the BEST books I have EVER read--and I don't say that lightly! It totally changed my outlook on my marriage and helps me stay focused on what God has promised and on what I can be doing to improve my marriage. And because this book has been such a help to me, my husband has also benefitted. It's written for the woman who believes in God, but whose husband does not---and offers PRACTICAL, BIBLICAL help in handling the difficulties that accompany such a marriage: how to raise children, communication breakdowns, divorce, arguments, friendships, and much, much more! It is also a FANTASTIC book for group study--exercises are included in the book. It is an especially good resource if you're not very familiar with the bible. Jo Berry does a GREAT job directing you to applicable scripture and it's not overwhelming or confusing. And because my marriage continues to change, the type of help I need continues to change. I've referred to the book many times over the past 7 years. It will be WORTH EVERY PENNY!
Not Just For The Unequally Yoked!

This is such a wonderful book. While the main focus is directed to Christian women married to unbelieving men, all women can learn something from it - married or single. I myself am not married, but I couldn't put the book down once I started reading. There are excerpts from interviews with people so you get a taste of "real life" situations, there are many Biblical referneces, and there are workshops at the end of each chapter. If you're a wife or ever plan on becoming one, this is a book of guidelines on what you are to be to your husband. I'm already reading it a second time. I'd definitely recommend it.
