I was recently reading one of my favorite blogs www.walkslowlylivewildly.com and Sara the owner discussed a book by Elizabeth George called A Woman After God's Own Heart. It perked my interest as most of what she says does. However, Sara stated it radically changed how she viewed her husband and marriage. While I have an amazing hubby and our marriage is wonderful...I am always looking to better myself, which in turn betters our marriage. So I went to my favorite bookstore online and ordered it. True to her word it is thought provoking and challenging. It makes women look inside ourselves and our true strengthens and weaknesses. It also spends a lot of time on submission and putting your hubby first in your life, right behind God. For moms I think putting our spouses in front of kids is hard. The author points out it is vital. Get the book and check it out. While I never take a book and agree with every word in it, this one has a lot of really good things to say.
Also in the mail today came The Other Side of The Garden. I remember when it came out in the early 90's there was very mixed emotions on it. Up until now I have never read it. Guess what its also about submission and a Godly marriage. I have read the first 50 pages and so far nothing over the top. I'll let you know when I finish the book.
What are you reading?

I'll have to check that out! I read The Power of a Praying Wife early in our marriage and I think it has had a very positive influence in our relationship. I have a hard time with the idea of putting my husband before my kids right now, especially since my brother abandoned his family. It's a struggle.
Oh my I'm so sorry to hear about your brother.
I have a huge submission thread going on MDC under Parents as Partners you might like to check out.
