Summary: Feminine, but no Mystique!
Review: A bold but selfless challenge to women who REALLY DO want a great marriage. The bottom line, in Linda Dillow's words: "I'm not saying it's easy. I'm saying it's well worth the effort!" For people who are ready to stop making excuses and open themselves up to some truths about how we can be used to bless or destroy our families. If you liked The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian, you'll love this practical and inspiring guide. I truly hope I can meet Linda Dillow in person someday and thank her for her courage in writing this fabulous book.

Summary: Inspiring, Encouraging, Realistic
Review: I can't get enough of this book! I'm amazed that the first copyright of this book was over 25 years ago! What amazing wisdom to be able to keenly right for wives back then that still holds true today. Linda Dillow does a fabulous job of combining pratical wisdom in balancing life with the need to realize that God is fully in control. With two toddlers living in my house, I found the Priority Planner to be a saving grace for balancing all my roles. And her straightforward speaking about our attitudes toward our husbands was eye-opening and humbling. I'm sorry for the wife above who was beaten by her husband, but I do not believe that it was a product of this book. Integrating the suggestions from this book will not make you a doormat; you must trust God to protect you from that. But it will free you up to live according to what His scripture dictates. Very practical and insightful. Thank you Mrs. Dillow for your wisdom and advice!

Summary: Every Wife Should Read and Reread this Book!!!
Review: I have been using this book as the companion text for a marriage seminar course I teach for nearly twenty years. You will not find another "marriage manual" that is as scriptural, and practical as this book. Linda is a talented writer who has been able to compose the perfect handbook for every wife. A very interesting, entertaining, and effective book. (...)

Summary: Should Be Called Creative Co-Dependent
Review: I read this book years ago and tried to live it in my former marriage. I became nothing more than my husband's sweet little doormat. While I tried to practice what she preaches, he slapped me around, he drank himself senseless and he molested my daughter. Some marriages are not worth saving. And the Holy Spirit most certainly never intervened.Is anyone aware that one of the "perfect" wives who taught this to other women was murdered by her husband who was out having kinky sex with other women? Does everyone swallow this twisted version of Biblical femininity without ever questioning? I stayed single for 10 years after that marriage ended because I swore I would never allow anyone to treat me like that again. Thankfully now, I have a wonderful husband but he respects me too much to want me to be the saccharine type wife described in this book.
