HOW TO MAKE YOUR MARRIAGE LAST
A Wife’s Guide
By Ann Benton
Day One. 32 pages. £3
ISBN 978 1 846 254 802
This helpful little book complements the Husband’s Guide and in its 32 pages addresses the important areas of expectation, differences (just what is the performance mind-set?), submission (what does it really look like?), our Biblical mandate as Christian wives.
With many years of pastoral experience to call upon, Ann observes that it is usually Christian wives that read books on marriage and they are also the first to be willing to speak about their joys and struggles. Ann draws on the wisdom of the Bible in 1 Peter and its timeless advice. She urges wives to attend to their own hearts, regardless of their husbands’ willingness or reluctance to open up in these matters. She paints a helpful picture of the true beauty every Christian wife should prioritise if she is to maintain, nourish and strengthen her marriage.
