A book that my wife really got a lot out of is entitled “The Excellent Wife”. It’s written by Martha Peace.

I also benefited greatly from this book as it impacted how my wife made ME feel :wink:

So much did I appreciate the changes that I read the companion book for husbands entitled “The Exemplary Husband”, by Stewart Scott.

Both are available at ChristianBook.com.

It can be ordered at '<a href="http://shop.nogreaterjoy.org/">No Greater Joy Ministries</a>', on-line, which is where my daughter bought her copy. I read my friends book this past fall. When I first started reading, I felt some anger toward the book, (if that makes any sense!) But by the end of the book, Debi really kind of put it all together. The overall picture of the book was very helpful. There are a couple things that I had a little trouble with, but overall it really taught me the importance of respecting your husband as your leader and protector, because this is God's plan for us as women. It is in our best interest. I'm a very strong-willed person, so it has been a struggle for me, (and I'm sure for my dear husband). But, God gave me a very patient and generous man. I will be praying for you, Bethanie! I know that other's prayers for me have really changed my life! Deb Bethanie,

It's getting consistent with checking our thoughts about the person (because our tongue only says what our hearts think) and, like you said, making sure we think about what we are going to say and the impact it will have before saying it.

I wasn't taught any of those things and I have to make a decsion all the time, not to shame my husband. I have to rethink everything I'm going to say before I say it. Especially when I am around others. It is an every day struggle. I wasn’t taught any of those things and I have to make a decsion all the time, not to shame my husband.

I'm glad that I can be an encouragement as you try to be more like Christ in your marriage! It’s an every day process to get closer to God that we’re engaged in until He takes us to be with Him.

I have struggled with this my entire marriage. No, I don't shame him in public or talk down to him around others. I've always tried to 'lift him up', honor and respect him in front of others. But it has been very difficult in private and God knows I struggle with this! For me, those passages that speak about honor, respect, obey and Sarah calling her husband 'Lord' are a weakness in my own private, personal life. I don't know if my husband even knows how much I struggle with this. But, God is working in me and I am changing. Praise the Lord! Thank you for the heart check! We all need a reminder every now and then where we stand in our own personal growth!
