There are times in life when we are drawn to exactly what we need and we find the answers we've been praying for. Such was the case with "Lord, I'm Ready to Be a Wife". Author Christine Pembleton did an exceptional job in describing the attitudes, criteria, motivations and qualifications of becoming/being a Godly wife.
This book is timely and should be read by every woman whether married or single. The wisdom found within will bless every woman no matter her stage of life. From questions of why do you wish to be married, to the descriptions of women in the premarital stages, dating, identifying the man who's right for you and keeping the fire burning once you’ve said “I do”. This book holds a wealth of wisdom gained by its author and passed on to any who would take the time to make a successful marriage their study.
Before we determine the direction we will go in life, we study. Whether it is our choice of schools, careers or vocations, friendships, partners, etc.; we tend to study and pray to make the correct choice because we want that perfect fit. Marriage is a subject we should make a careful study of as well, for this decision is one that is made for a lifetime.
“Lord, I'm Ready to Be a Wife” is an incredible source for its depth and vast range of topics concerning preparations in becoming a wife and exposure of obstacles you’re bound to face after attaining your goal. This book leaves nothing to chance, including the fact that no two marriages will ever be exactly the same; therefore, we must ultimately seek God's guidance for the correct way to minister to our mate when HE does find us.
In this book you'll find biblical examples of women who have excelled at being wives to their husbands and within the confines of these bound pages, I'm convinced that every question that has ever popped up in our minds has been answered, such questions as:
- How do I know if a man I’m interested in is in fact interested in me?
- Is it okay to date?
- What does successful Christian dating look like?
- When, if ever, should marriage be discussed and can I broach the subject?
- How to identify Godly characteristics in a potential husband?
- Where will I find a “good” man were I looking to be found?
I recommend this book highly. Not only is it well written; but, it contains a wealth of knowledge and is also intriguing. Lord, I'm Ready to Be a Wife", by: Christine Pembleton is definitely one for your library; yet, hardly one that will remain on the shelf! I suggest you read and reread it to gain insight of your desire and when your husband finds you, he will indeed proclaim as the virtuous woman of Proverb's husband did, "many daughters have done virtuously, but YOU excel them all".
Become your best now, in your single state, so you can give your best later, in your marriage, to the best man for you.
