When it comes to your home, you can either be a part of the “construction crew” or the “demolition derby”

This book focuses on marriage and beyond from a woman’s perspective. Learn how to do your husband good and not evil all the days of your life. (Proverbs 31:12), as well as how to attain and keep the peace in your home while pursuing and fulfilling your God-given assignment as a woman, wife, and mother. Matthew 19:5, 6 says, “And said, For this cause shall a man leave Father and Mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” Within the pages of this book, you will read about many issues that couples face as well as Biblical solutions. As one speaker said, “Marriages may be made in heaven, but they must be worked out on earth.” The book also contains a very important section "For Singles Only" that focuses on questions they should ask themselves before considering marriage. Questions such as: (1) Is it lust or love? (2) What are you looking for in a husband? (3) What areas would you compromise in your choice of a husband? (4) What are the values/standards the two of you share? (5) Are you willing to follow God's requirements for you as a wife? (6) How much do you really know about this person you say you love?



Marriage is based on the principle of love not solely on feelings. Feelings are temporary, yet temperamental tendencies should never be a stumbling block for a marriage. Many individuals mistake lust for love; then they find out later on that a marriage solely based on lust cannot withstand adverse attacks that makes its entrance into the marriage.



As you read this book, you will discover that, with the help of the Lord, marriage can, indeed, be a "privilege" instead of a "pain".

Sample Text from the Book:

Many times, something totally insignificant can cause a small disturbance - and then a big ruckus exists. Marriage should not be a battle ground, nor a competitive ‘tournament’. The husband should not compete against the wife, nor the wife against the husband. There is no such thing as ‘advancing to the finals’ in a marriage or singularly winning the "Marathon Race". Sometimes a ‘victory’ is worse than taking the loss. You and your husband are in this race 'together'. 1 Peter 3:11 says, “Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.”



The Amplified Bible says, “Let him turn away from wickedness and shun it; and let him do right. Let him search for peace – harmony, undisturbedness from fears, agitating passions and moral conflicts – and seek it eagerly. Do not merely desire peaceful relations [with God, with your fellowmen, and with yourself], but pursue, go after them!” (1 Peter 3:11)
