What it means, and how to be one
Five lessons that walk you through God's design for marriage, your role as a wife, why we resist it, and what living it out actually looks like in everyday life.
Written for the wife who wants to honor God in her marriage, and for the wife walking through a hard season who does not know where to start.
Five lessons. Yours to keep. Work at your own pace.
"This guide has truly done everything it said it would. Not only did my changes to being a submissive wife aid in my strengths, it brought my husband out of his lukewarm habits as well."

A NOTE FROM ME
I was exactly where you are
Many years ago I was just like you, wanting to be a good wife and to have a Christ-centered marriage, but I had no idea what that looked like or how to do it. I sought God's Word for the answers, and He has been gracious and faithful to mold and shape me into the wife I am today.
I share that not from a place of having it all figured out, but from the other side of a long journey. I want the same for you.
I am praying for you. God has brought you here for a reason, and I believe He is already at work.

BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD
Questions wives ask me
Is the study guide really free?
Yes. It is a free PDF download, yours to keep and work through at your own pace. There is nothing to buy.
How long will it take me?
There are five lessons. I recommend completing one lesson per week, giving yourself time to sit with what you have learned, answer the questions prayerfully, and apply the Word before moving on.
What if my marriage is in a hard place right now?
This guide is written for you too. Lesson Four deals honestly with why we resist God's design, and where our fear comes from. You do not have to trust your husband perfectly. You have to trust the God who is sovereign over him.
Do I need to know the Bible well to use this?
No. Every lesson gives you the Scripture along with teaching that explains it. All you need is your Bible, a pen, and a willing heart.
Will this help if my husband is not on board?
Your growth is not on hold waiting for him. This guide is about your walk with the Lord, and God can do a great deal in a marriage through one willing wife.
