Excellent Reading for both wives and husbands,
By William T. Clarke (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Excellent Wife: A Biblical Perspective (Paperback)
Both my wife and I have read this book together and will soon be reading the Exemplary Husband. These two books combine to provide a biblical view of marriage. What it does not do is take women back 300 years! What it does not do is teach women to be doormats or to simply sit quietly by while their husbands physically or mentall abuse them! It does not teach wives to be second class citizens to their husbands! Anyone that states any of these conclusions from the book did not read it closely or with an open mind.What the book does do is explain to wives (and husbands if they take the time to read it!) is that there is a biblical structure for households in which the husband is the spiritual leader and the wife is to submit to her husband's lead. It does express a view that there is a hierarchy outlined in the bible for a household. The book very clearly states that husbands and wives have equal worth in God's eyes. However, like any institution, marriage runs better when there is one leader - in the bible's view this one leader should be the husband. My wife and I have had a strong marriage that without realizing it followed fairly closely to the traditional role of husbands and wives. However, this book opened our eyes to ways in which we can improve our relationship. My wife is not a doormat. She has her opinions and I love her and respect those opinions. However, this book combined with our friendship, love, and respect have improved our marriage. Read it with an open mind and you will come away with a renewed marriage.

Read with an open mind,
By Atara (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Excellent Wife: A Biblical Perspective (Paperback)
As a former feminist, I am now preparing to marry. I purchased this book. First, I was amazed at the similarity between the secular Dominance and Submission relationships I've seen and this Biblical approach. I think the message Martha is sending is a very conservative one - not leaving much room for personality. I do however think there are many wonderful things to glean from this book. There is nothing wrong with being submissive! Now - if some of these were to read a book like this to MEN about how to be excellent leaders of their home, maybe some of these reviewers wouldn't be quite so hostile. How many people in today's world actually get to experience a loving, thoughtful, caring, and affectionate man who is a leader in his home? It's no wonder there is so much rebellion here! It is a joy to be submissive when I am loved, cherished and cared for. It really is a two way street. This is a complicated subject - but what can it hurt? If you don't agree with it - then bring it to the library. My advice? Take what you need and leave the rest - you might need it later.

Biblical Submision empowers not supresses,
By Mrs PV Tait (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Excellent Wife: A Biblical Perspective (Paperback)
I first read THE EXCELLENT WIFE BY MARTHA PEACE 3 years ago. The excellent advice and guidelines helped me transform 'our marriage'. I still read this book I have bought several copies as gifts it is an excellent gift for a new Christian Wife. The book is challenging, and it s a little like moisturiser for your skin takes awhile to sink in but through the years you reap the benefits. I am involved in a group that studies this book there are many of us we are all from different walks of life and different countries different ages and different denomination and yet we have each enjoyed the good teaching in this most excellent study book. Did I become an excellent wife well not yet but I am more excellent now than I was last year. Happy reading.
