"I did this as a study with my church. I really loved it. In some ways it got repetitive, because the underlying theme seemed to be that we should turn negative thoughts and feelings into those that glorify God, and God will take care of the rest. Much of this book is hard to hear, but I have lived and witnessed many of the themes in this book, and believe she knows what she says. Some take the text to believe that she calls for women to be doormats, but I don't believe that to be the case; she wants us to be respectful and supportive of our husbands, and she guides us in how to approach them about their wrongdoings, should it be necessarily." — Mary (5 out of 5 stars)

" The is the most thorough and practical and biblical book I have read on the subject. I have shared this book with many women and have taught the book several times to our college women. We have all benefited greatly from Martha Peace's insights. The book can be used as a handbook for being a wife and great to refer back to on particuar subjects when the occasion arises. "
" I really wanted to give it a 3 1/2 star rating. I liked it, am glad I read it and did the study but had a few hesitations. "
" A sweet man gave this book to me on the first day we met in person. It was quite obvious that he was interested in pursuing me. I read the book and kept it for some time, but then I donated it. I learned that I need to keep working on my relationship with the Lord. A couple years earlier, another man suggested that I read it and I thought he was crazy. "
" Good teaching, but unfortunately, this in the wrong hands could serve to browbeat women. Sensitively applied with an eye to both holiness and genuine caring in both partners, could work. "
" This book was a requirement for our marriage counceling. It opened my eyes to many things...but is not perfectly on track with my personal convictions. "
" Listened to on CD. Just ok for me. Liked her use of scripture, but the book was dry. "
" Had a lot of good information. As typical with books based on scripture you have to look everything up because the author adds their own "interpretation" of doctrine. This was mostly noticed in the defining of the Trinity. But other than that it was spot on as far as the defining of a woman's role in the marriage and home. It is not drudgery to be a wife, but a blessing! Wish more women understood this. "
" Religious bondage. Pure and simple. "
" It was excellent. Very Biblical, convicting, and practical, giving even the toughest situations. It is not just applicable to married women, but to any woman seeking to be godly. "
" While she may have some points, most of what she has said in this book is NOT biblically sound at all. "
" This is an excellent book for any Christian woman thinking about getting married. It really helped me understand the Biblical perspective of submission. It also gave me a better understanding of the principles outlined in Matthew 18. "
" How long do you shelve a book you are "reading" before you take it off your "currently reading" shelf? "
" If you want to read a great book about marriage, I recommend Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas. This one will leave you frustrated and discouraged. "
" Marriage changer for me. "
" Very good book. At times, uncomfortably convicting :) but I would recommend this book to any new bride who is seeking to glorify God in her marriage. "
" God used this book to change my life and my marriage years ago. "
" Very good book! Definitely use it with the study guide as well. Causes you to truly examine your marriage and your role as the wife in the family. "
" I am learning what God requires of me as a godly wife and how I can obey God's commandments in order to become that wife. "
" I love, love, love this book. I've taught 2 different Bible studies from this book. "
" Awesome! Challenging and for the serious Christian wife. I have been very blessed by this book and believe that it has played a huge part in saving my marriage! Highly recommend! "
" One of the best books I've ever read! There are great charts with specific ways to "put off" wrong attitudes and "put on" God-honoring attitudes. For wives who are struggling, or just want to grow in their love and respect for their husband, I highly recommend this book. "
" Honestly I couldn't even get through it. I think most if not all of what she says is true, but her tone lacks grace. I'll probably puerto it & try to at least skim the rest, but I how there is something our there that communicates a bit more grace while still upholding truth. "
" I wish I would have received this book in pre-marriage counciling!!! A must read for every wife. "
" This book will encourage you and give you practical teaching on how to be the best wife to your husband that you can be. Highly recommended! "
" This book is a must-read for every Christian wife. It is practical, with lots of examples and Scriptures to apply to your efforts at becoming Excellent. "
" God used this book to reveal the sin that had crept into my daily life. I am looking forward to reading it again. "
" I was so excited to purchase and read this book. However, I was disappointed from the very beginning. While the author makes some good points, I did not care for her writing style. I was honestly just happy to get through it. "
" Simply EXCELLENT! Whenever I can, I give this book away as a bridal shower gift because it is full of principles that every wife should familiarize herself with. "
" I do believe that much of this book is very helpful though some parts were repetitive and non issue. "
" there is a lot of things I had to change and more to work on "
" Very hard to swallow in some areas. "
" An Excellent book (ha ha!)... uses plenty of scripture to teach what an excellent wife should do. Some of it was personally hard to hear, but rings with biblical truths! Highly recommend it for any woman looking to make herself a more biblical wife. "
" Biblical and thorough. Makes me uncomfortable b/c I don't measure up. Motivates me to pursue excellence in this high calling. "
" Life changing book, very profitable formy marriage and for me. "
