January Book.....Done

OK, I have finally finished the book! I should have read 2 chapters a day to make sure I would finish in time. Anyway, the book was amazing!! I learned so much about men, and my God given wifely role. I recommend this book to anyone that wants to improve their marriage. Below I have written little snippets that went to heart while reading. It is not the whole book. There is much more than what I list. I recommend reading the whole thing. It is heart changing!!

Chapter 19: In Control - And Hating It Our wifely role is not to be head of the household. That is our husbands role as given by God. Trust God to build your home.

Chapter 20: When Opposites Attract Through discussion and loving compromise you may discover each others needs and how to meet them.

Chapter 21: My Brothers Middle Name is Sandpaper It is important to talk about what makes you angry and deal with it before the day is over.

Chapter 22: When He Doesn't Talk to You The greater language is the language of the heart.

Chapter 23: When He's Not a Christian Don't talk to him about God, talk to God about your husband!

Conclusion: In marriage we are not individuals. We are a team, partners for a purpose. Many times unrest in a marriage should not be blamed on your husband, but on the enemy, Satan.
