Learn to love the way God intended

This book is one of my favorites. It's also the first book that helped me get my marriage back on track. There's no better way to help educate yourself than with God's word. And this book helps lead the way. I would (and have) recommend this book to any woman who's looking for help in their marriage. Of course, you have to be ready to listen to the word and not the world around us. Now days woman are too independent to rely on what God said years and years ago. I was one of them. Believe me and trust in the Lord. This book will help you if you let it!

I wish I had this book twenty years ago.

My "happy" marriage was failing and I had no clue as to why. Both this book and "The Power of a Praying Wife" opened my eyes and truly revealed to me what I had been doing wrong for so many years. This was a book that I couldn't put down, but also at times, had a hard time reading because I felt it was leading me to take on a role that would lose myself to me. But it's a book full of biblical truth and has truly transformed me into a stronger woman who's marriage now has hope when there was none. I'm a better woman for it and feel I truly am serving God by being the kind of wife the bible teaches us to be, rather than a wife that society has created. I am a Godly wife, my family is intact and the man I love is still my husband, my marriage is blessed. This book taught me and transformed my life. I haven't lost who I am at all, I am better and much more blessed because of it.

In a Culture of Feminism, Practical, Biblical Submission

This is a wonderful book for the Christian wife who wants to put into practice the biblical command to be subject to her own husband, but doesn't really know what that LOOKS like in a day-to-day fashion. Contrary to another reviewer's comments, this is not a return to the 50's or an evil plot from the Religious Right, and no where do the authors promote women staying in abusive relationships. What they do advocate is right out of the scriptures, and is extrememly helpful to someone who wants to live by those scriptures despite what she is being told by the feminist culture around her.

It really works!!! You MUST try it!!!

I don't know about you, but I've always wanted to have a fulfilling marriage. However, I wanted to do it "my way" instead of God's way. I knew many Biblical recommendations on how to do it, but I vehemently refused to follow them. I was simply too self-centered, too stubborn, too independent... The results; I was failing miserably!!!One day, in sincere heart-felt prayer, the Holy Spirit led me to this book. I bought it and started reading it immediately, but must admit, I had little hope. To my surprise, I just couldn't stop reading! Even within my extremely busy schedule, I made time to finish it in one week.Here are my humble comments about this masterpiece. Through their writing, the authors helped me understand:- the specific areas were I was failing as a wife.- God's job description for wives in detail.- concepts that are foreign to modern women such as personal responsibility, accountability, commitment, loving your home, establishing godly priorities, making wise decisions, and the awesome rewards of having a servant's heart for the wellbeing of the whole family.- the blessings and rewards of sincere submission.The book is easy to read, follows a very logical sequence, contains a significant number of real life examples, and offers incredibly useful, PRACTICAL, and easy to follow recommendations for the reader to start making a difference immediately.I was so impacted with its contents that I've shared it with other women whose hearts are set in pleasing the Lord Jesuschrist. Their HUSBANDS have told me that IT REALLY WORKS!!!

Best book on honoring your husband I',ve seen in years!!!

I'm a real bookworm so if I say that this is one of the best book I've read in years that inspires us to honor and respect our husbands that's saying alot.I am buying extra copies to give to friends to urge and encourage them to read it. This book is solidly biblical and "meat".If you like Elizabeth George,Martha Peace and Fascinating Womanhood you'll love this book.Even if you've never heard of them you'll still love it.
