Summary: Excellent reference guide for the new wife
Comment: I've been married for 27 years and I regret that this book wasn't around in the early years of my marriage. I believe the sound advice and prayer suggestions would have saved me a lot anxiety and our marriage would have been stronger sooner! Prayer was always my last resort and I often didn't know how to pray about our circumstances. If you desire a life-long marriage to the same man, this is a must read.

Summary: For divorcing women only
Comment: As a new Christian bride, I was excited to begin a strong foundation in my marriage through God's word. I began reading this book and was discouraged that it was only applicable to women who are unhappy in their marriage and having serious problems. Once I got to the section entitled, "I don't even like him, how can I pray for him", I decided that this book was only applicable to women with serious marriage problems.

Summary: Wimpy Wives Who Question Their Own Judgment Have No Power
Comment: As a Christian and also a happily married wife, I looked forward to reading this book. I was disappointed to find that it is just like all the other fundamentalist Christian books on marriage. "Change yourself first, all these books argue, and question any anger you hold toward your husband. Isn't it possible that some men are just jerks and not worth preserving the marriage? Why is it these types of books always pretend otherwise? The book encourages women to question their reactions to their husbands' bad behavior and to bring those issues to God instead. I question why I would not communicate about marital issues with my husband. Advice that discourages marital communication is advice I find suspect.
The book also encourages women to ignore their anger. Only briefly does the book discuss the righteousness of a decision to leave an abusive or addicted partner. This is the sort of book that would encourage a woman to stay in an abusive marriage, trying to pray her way out of it. My aunt stayed in such a marriage for 17 years, praying constantly with her Christian church, receiving books from her friends that were just like this one. Her marriage ended when her drunken husband almost killed her and threatened her children. Psychologically, she has never recovered.
I am not saying that prayer is not powerful; nor am I saying that a wife should not pray for her husband. But the subservient wife depicted in this book - one who questions her own reactions and represses communication with her husband over potentially major marital issues - is not the kind of wife I'd like to be. Nor do I believe it leads to more stable marriage. If your goal is for your Christian marriage to endure, find a good therapist. Or, I recommend "Love is a Decision" - a much better book.
