The Beautiful Wife: Focused on Christ, Fulfilled in Marriage
by Sandy Ralya
On the back of the book:
Marriage is Hard Work!
When Sandy Ralya’s marriage was in trouble, she was desperate for help but didn’t know how to ask for it. Everyone else’s marrige seemed so perfect. How could she admit hers was not?
Sandy eventually sought guidance from godly mentors and Christian counselors. What she learned transformed her life… and then her marriage. Now, she wants to privde other wifes with the same nurturing and mentoring that saved her relationship.
Whether your marital struggles are few or many, The Beautiful wife offers biblical principles, practical tips, and inspiring stories to guide and encourage you as you look for God’s best in your marriage. Use this book along with The Beautiful Wife Prayer Journal or use The Beautiful Wife Mentor’s Guide to lead other women through a study of the book. Visit www.beautifulwomanhood.com to find all the tools you need to strengthen your marriage as you build loving, godly, and supportive relationships with other wives.
“When women share with each other the details of their journeys with God as wives,” write Sandy, “it’s a beautiful thing indeed.”
My thoughts on the book:
Being a beautiful woman, the way God created us to be is hard work!
I think Sandy really brings that forward in this book with a lot of biblical advice – and stuff we so “know” we should do, but forget. I really enjoyed the “whole package” of the journal and mentor guide – I will admit that I’m currently going through by myself and hope to encourage some of my fellow Christian wives to join me on this journey. I’d like to call this book, almost a manual that regardless of how long you’ve been married – Christian women should be grasping onto and digging into the word and knowing what God says and how it can help our marriages. I’ve read a lot of marriage books through the years we’ve been married and this one specifically focuses on the wife, which I think is so important! I mean we often forget about aspects of the marriage that we need to be doing and that regardless of how our husbands behave we need to be keeping our relationship with Christ up and walking in HIS light.
I like how the prayer journal is laid out – it gives me time to reflect and is not the same questions as in the book. The mentor book is fabulous for anyone looking to do this as a group – I have never seen one laid out as sweet as this one – it provides you with all the tools you need to succeed, even if you’ve never led a group before!
