 This book will help your marriage! November 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you are a Christian wife, you need this book! The world has imparted much knowledge about what it means to be a wife - most of which is not Biblical. Debi Pearl shares what the Bible says about being a wife, gives plenty of real life examples, and backs it all up with scripture. This book is well written and when read with a prayerful and open heart, has the power to transform and save your marriage. Some of the things Debi has to say are tough to swallow, but that just reminds us of how far we have come from Biblical standards. As the Bible says, a wife can win her husband without a word. She can also transform him by obeying the Word of the Lord.
I have shared this book with sisters and friends. It would be an incredible gift for a soon to be or new wife who could prevent many of the mistakes the rest of us have made. Wives can win back their husbands and children, strengthen their families, and show the world that wonderful marriages come from trusting in and obeying the Lord.
A must for any wife's library November 16, 2008

I don't necessarily agree with everything in this book, but overall it is a really great book- I wish I had read it before I got married- it would have made our early months SOOOOO much easier. I highly recommend it!

I really like this book. I use it as a reference tool to give me practical real life examples of God's word in action. I like how I can look in the bible and read a scripture and then look at the same in "created to be his Help Meet" and see it put to practice. Thank you Debbie Pearl for your wisdom!
I loved this Book!!! October 27, 2008
I was reading this book when I was pregnant for our first Child and could not put it down. I think it is all in how you would personal take the messsage and apply it to your own life! I was married for 2 years and adored my husband. It was simple reminders to me to Love, respect, and encourage my husband! To HELP build him up to the Man that God created and then in Return I would be blessed. What husband wouldn't love his wife if she treated him so well. I know that we are not perfect!!! I found this book to be very enlighting, encouraging and a spirtitual uplift. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone though, because it teachs to be submissive to your husband. I know alot of women that want to be the one who wears the PANTS!! I can struggle with that also. This book helps me to relize that isn't what God intended for me. SO if you are willing to listen to God and be submissive to your spouse and have a positive, incouraging atitude tward your husband, I think that you would enjoy this book. By putting your Husband first you are Obeying God and putting GOD first!!!!!!! I LOVED THE BOOK!!!!
 I have a love/hate feeling for this book. October 12, 2008

Pros: The things I liked about the book and have put into practice are the ideas on submission, honoring my husband, being joyful, understanding that my husband is a "Mr. Steady" and learning how I can support him. I like the phrase happiness does not always equal holiness. I also learned that some of my nagging (even which may be true or justified) isn't the way to win over my husband. Only God has power to change someone else. I can change myself and be a positive role model for my husband, and God willing, will help change him into the man God wants him to be. I agree that our culture has led us toward radical feminism rather than to authentic feminism.
Cons: I don't doubt the goodwill of the Pearls, but the approach isn't as "inspiring" as it could be. God's way is the best, but I'm not sure this is it. This is a personal interpretation from a couple who either made the scriptures fit what they think the Bible is saying, or who are taking the scriptures so literally, that it misses the point of the true message behind the passage. I was shocked that the author took biblical scripture and twisted it to fit what she personally believed was true. I had to go back and reread it just to be sure I wasn't halucinating. The book states women exist for him and all his needs alone. Women are told to ignore their hopes and dreams (especially if you have a Mr. Command or Mr Visionary husband). Women are 100% to blame for all of the problems including porn, infidelity, divorce, and abuse. Wives are to wear dresses and grow long hair, unless of course you get permission to get it cut. I was utterly shocked that she told battered women to stay with their husbands. Can you imagine your children watching you get beaten by their dad and learning something positive from that?
The Pearls are being hypocritical and less than compassionate to the people who write in for advice. A poor wife at her wits end is treated like a dummy.
If you must, read the book with full knowledge of what the reviews say, and take the few pieces that are worthwhile, or select another book that is equally honest and upfront, but more encouraging and accurate. Other reviews are correct when they say: sift, sift, sift!
