The Book that Changed Not Only My Marriage but My Life!
The book that changed not only my marriage but my life was "Created to be His Help-Meet" by Debi Pearl of the No Greater Joy Ministries. I have read quite a few relationship books along with Dr. Laura's book, "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands". I thought the book has some really great points but something was missing. I couldn't put my finger on it at the time. Well Years went by and I still was struggling with how to be a good wife. I didn't understand it, after all those books and advice on certain situations I was still at a loss. Then a dear friend of mine, Kristy told me about Debi Pearl's book. God Bless You Kristy!
I ordered it and started reading it. I couldn't believe my ears on what this woman was saying. I wanted to throw it out my window or burn it with my bra (*LOL* my old femenist days). But I decided I was going to read the whole book and so I could make a real criticism of her book. I thought I was pretty dang smart. HA!! I realized after finishing the book that what it had that no other book I read had; Scripture. And she explained it so well that even my little mind could comprehend.
After reading it all the way through I decided I was going to try it for a week; just smiling at my husband even when he ticked me off. And oh my Lanta! It worked! I decided that Debi was right. I respect and honor my husband because that is what God has called me to do; not because he deserves it. Just like Husbands are called to love their Wives like Christ loves the church (His people); not because we deserve it.
Now I see my husband in a total different light. I enjoy him! I look at him and I am amazed that God gave me this man to love and cherish. I am so blessed! Not only has this changed my outlook on my marriage but also my life. It's been two years since I read the book, and now I am going to read it again to spiff up my skills.
I gave it to my mother-in-law because she gave me Dr. Laura's book. I first I felt it as a slap in the face. But after reading Debi's book I wanted to share it with everyone. And she loved it too. Next, I want to by a case to give out. So I encourage you to go and order "Created to be His Help-Meet" on nogreaterjoy.org
If it can change my marriage and my life I know He can do marvelous things with you.
