A Terrific Bible Study on Marriage for Women

"Women Making A Difference In Marriage" is a life-changing eight-week Bible study by Lana Packer. The lessons you will take away from the two months spent in these pages are so simple, yet have incredible impact on life, marriage and other relationships. Putting the primary focus on Christ is the key to any God-centered life, and this study emphasizes that point over and over again. Practicing a God-centered lifestyle removes the burden from others in our lives to fulfill us - leaving that responsibility to Christ, where it belongs. This study relieves burdens and brings freedom. It builds character and relationships and destroys barriers and obstacles. Each week is divided into five days' worth of homework, each day can be completed in 30 minutes or less. The writing is sincere and inspiring, making the reader want to be the woman God created her to be. This is the third time I've done this study, and I'm sure I'll do it again.

Wonderful Study!

This is a wonderful study for women. It addressed a lot of issues I wanted to dig into. Including Submission. In the context of submission, there is one page devoted to when it is appropriate to separate from your husband due to abuse. I mention this because I have found that there are so few resources that biblically talk about this issue. I have shared that excerpt with several friends. I wish it was longer than one page, but one page is enough to be helpful since it is not the focus of the study. I would highly recommend this study to any wife--even more than The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace (a book I like, but I am careful what I take from it because it can be a legalistic approach to marriage). There is a tone of grace in this study, which is missing from many studies about marriage.

Bible Study

We used this book in our Bible study and it was wonderful. It prompted great discussions and really made everyone think about how much we woman can impact our marriage in a positive way.
