When I first began to read this book, I felt Debi Pearl was advocating women to be doormats. As I prayed for God's direction, I began to realize the reason I felt this way was because society, as a whole, places women in a sinless cocoon. Men are always the problem always to blame, and always take the flack; while women, on the other hand, is never to blame and never the problem.

As I read this book, peppered with Biblical philosophy, I realized that I am not perfect. As I look at my husband in his fallen state of humanity, I see that I am also in a fallen state of humanity. He loves me as I am, so I need to love him as he is.

Debi does not condone abuse, adultery, rape, or any other such like. She does condone being the wife that the Bible teaches me to be. With an open heart and a realization of my sinful state, this book has been a great help in my marriage. No longer do I judge my husband by my standards, but I hold myself accountable to these standards.

Thank you, Debi, for writing such a controversial book that gets to the heart of the matter...as does the Bible!
