A little soul searching...

This is an amazing book! Yes, Julie deals with submission, but more than anything she drives home the point that we are each responsible for our own actions. The moral behind the book is similar to the old saying, "Don't SEARCH for the perfect friend; BECOME the perfect friend!" It is something that is so easy for anyone (in this case, wives) to forget--it is easy to blame all of your problems or arguments on the things that your husband does wrong. Julie helps the reader to take responsibility for her own actions and attitudes. Wives should encourage, not manipulate; pray for their husbands, not nag them. She opened my eyes about so many things that I had been doing without even thinking about them! Thanks, Julie!

Awesome and Informative

This is truly a wonderful book. It is FULL of so much insight into both the male and female's way of thinking. It doesn't point fingers, nor does it place blame. I was so captured by this book, from the first chapter to the very last. There was not one chapter that didn't speak to me. The book really caused me to examine myself and the way I treat, view, and value my husband - and myself to an extent. I HIGHLY recommend this book! It is the most comprehensive book I've ever read on marriage. (I especially got a lot of insight from the "Headache" chapter.) If you're looking to be the wife - and/or husband - that will make your marriage all that it should be (according to God's plan), this is definitely the book to get.

This is one of those books I will add to my daughters' - and son's (for my daughter in-law-to-be) - hope chest. (My children are currently 2, 4, and 10. So, they have plenty of time to read this; it's an ageless book).

Hero

It is a very informative book, and looks at the marital relationship from both points of view - from husbands view and wifes view. I like the fact that it is unbiased, quite often we buy books to re-inforce our own perceptions and ideas in order to justify the way we think and what we believe, but this is a challenge to both men and womens way of thinking. Bible based and edifying at the same time.

Wonderful insights!

This book, with all of its scriptural references, is a real treasure and sheds brilliant light on the unique role of being a Christian wife. I am in a 2nd marriage (married 6 months) and want very much to head this marriage down the path that God intends. I read several passages to my husband, who is also a Christian, and he agreed that Dr. Slattery has provided accurate insights to the needs of husbands. This book just "jumped off" the bookstore shelf. When I read the foreword and introduction to the book, I realized the challenge I have of being a woman with a strong personality who also desires to be a partner and an encourager, would be addressed in this book. Dr. Slattery did a great job of encouraging me to be all God would have me to be while also acknowledging my husband's role as "head of our household". Her understanding and interpretation of God's Word on this subject is encouraging and freeing! I am purchasing additional books for my female friends and family members. I highly recommend that wives AND their husbands read this book; it is a wonderful basis for discussion that can bring renewed energy and intimacy to a marriage.
