One secret to marital bliss is for a wife to love her husband the way God designed for her to love him - even with his shortcomings. God hasn't called a woman to change her husband, but to focus on her calling as a wife. And the rewards for doing so are rich! Elizabeth provides valuable and practical insights on 12 key areas of a marriage, including...What it means to be a husband's helper; What submission is and isn't; Nurturing joy in your home and family; Excelling in your work...and making time for fun as a couple! This book can be used alongside "A Husband After God's Own Heart", or as a stand-alone volume.

Format:Paperback
I love to be excited by a title. I picked this book up at a camp meeting I attended in Southport, thinking heavily about this topic I was pleased to see someone had thought to write something about it. Although some may feel it `old fashioned' or `out-dated', the author looks carefully at what God wants in a woman's life. From growth with God (fundamental to being a wife after His heart) to looking after your home effectively, and what that takes. Elizabeth George, highlights the fact that a wife cannot love effectively if she does not Love God first, this seems very grass roots but is a crucial concept to understand when embarking on a life long journey with your life partner.
The Practical side of this book is also very impressive, showing you examples of how to deal with relationship issues. Overall I have been impressed by the way the author writes and this experience has enticed me to buy other titles that Elizabeth has written.
Good book if you need a booster in your relationship or your just starting out

Great book for wives!
20 Feb 2004
Format:Paperback
This book goes back to the bible for its direction. I know a lot of women read these books and think that they shouldn't "follow" or have a man "lead" but there's something to it. Marriage as God intended is not what we practice today, which may explain the divorce rate. Trust me, this book will change your life, as well as your husband's. You can not read this book and not have it make a huge impact on how you conduct yourself as a Christian wife.

Checks and balances
5 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
The outline of the book is outstanding. It's a shame some people may misread and misinterpret much of what George is relating from her own life experiences. She could have spent more time and space reflecting on the Biblical guidelines for a happy marriage, as well as examples or illustrations from other people rather than herself. The whole issue of submission should not overshadow the role of the wife to provide a check and balance for success and happiness in a marriage.

Right On Track

Format:Paperback
I feel the need to defend this book a little bit, as it has been pretty well slammed by some other readers. Elizabeth George has a God-given talent for telling it like it is. The reason why several readers have negative feedback for this book, is that she tells the truth about what Scripture actually says. Wives ARE to submit to their husbands and be obedient them. Husbands are put in authority over their wives. In turn, the husband is to love the wife as Christ loves the Church. Of course husbands are not perfect and have their own flaws. A wife is supposed to be his help-meet, though and offer her own counsel in daily situations. It is not the wife's place to be the spiritual leader of the home, nor should the responsibility of providing for the household fall on her shoulders. Her congregation is her children and her pulpit the kitchen table. She should focus her preaching to the children, not her husband. All the time spent controlling him would be much better spent in prayer. I don't understand why so many women want to be so free of authority in their lives. If you have a problem with obeying your husband, than it's possible that your real beef is with God, since that is the way He designed it all to begin with. Read this book. It will help you get back to the basics of what being a wife is all about.
