Through the practical, modern application of biblical principles, you will learn to use your creativity, strength, and wisdom in ways you never imagined would be so effective.

How would you describe yourself? Independent? Strong? Decisive? Spunky? Confident? Hard working? Responsible? Natural Leader?
If you would apply any one, or combination, of those words to yourself then this book is what you need to read. NOW! K.B. Haught uses her tragic testimony to encourage others to understand and grasp God's plan for us strong women. God made no mistake in how He made us, we just need to understand how He wants to use us.
I have read many solid Christian books about being the wife that God wants me to be, but this one touched my heart on several points that I have never before been able to fully understand. If you want to be a wife that brings glory to God then this book is a must read for you. And when you do read it, be sure to comment on it. I would love to hear other thoughts about what you learned.

Excellent Book for married women who want obey God
I had read the book, the Empowered Wife and I was trying to align it with the scriptures because it is not faith based but it is a very good book. After studying that book I ran across this one . I read the sample and knew I had to read it. It is one of the best books that I have read on marriage for women. I have read ALOT. This book is full of wisdom and the word to back it up. There is a part in this book about the difference between seeking God and seeking God's Kingdom that really impacted me. I have made that constant reminder. Even after years as a follower of Christ this book taught me so much. I would recommend it to all wives that want to have a marriage like God designed it to be.

I learned a lot of good stuff in this book. The scriptures didn't seem familiar to me (maybe a different version of the bible from the King James version that I'm used to) but the information was really good.
Active Submission
Opportunities for Leadership - let him lead
Marriage wasn't designed to make you happy, it was designed to make you holy
Alpha Dog behavior
Men are built up is being respected, what builds women up is being loved
What means most to him is having you quietly in his presence

There were some good nuggets in this book, but I didn't love it overall. There were some judgmental undertones (like her description of watching how other women interact with their husbands--an arm over instead of under his could indicate an "unsubmissive wife") and some of the suggestions sounded like ways to simply manipulate situations. I enjoyed reading the author's testimony of how she came to know Christ.

absolutely loved this book!
I’m not Christian. I’m Muslim but all the ideas and thoughts presented are completely in line with my faith when it comes to marriage and I am super excited and grateful about implementing and growing. Thank you for reminding me of these home truths I needed to hear right now.

Hope for a Satisfying Marriage
So many today are afraid of godly submission, but that may be the very reason our marriages are failing. This book gives hope of a truly satisfying marriage.

Practical ideas to regain joy in marriage through active submission. Although submission is frowned upon, Karen offers real life and Biblical ways to submit with grace, peace and joy.

I have been praying for this!
It has taken a long time to understand what submission really means and I have been searching for a way to learn. This book is it! This would be great for newly married or engaged couples as well as any who have been married many years. I plan to get one for my daughter as I have taught her well how to be independent but not how to be a good wife.
