This is a book that is well worth the read. Darlene Schacht, creator of the blog "Time Warp Wife," has done a fantastic job of showing what God can do through one woman.
The book discusses what it is to be a wife in a God-honoring marriage. More than any other book I have read, the role of the wife is carefully delineated here. And in doing this, Schacht gives Christian women a true gift. So much of what is written in women's ministry - and particularly the "trendy" books - does not follow Scripture. It instead twists Scripture into what we want it to be.
Darlene Schacht doesn't do this. This book is Scripturally sound, and I love it for that. A woman seeking to learn what she can do to better her marriage can read this book without worrying about false doctrine. And you can't say that about a lot of books out there.
Beyond that, Schacht is a good writer, and this book is an enjoyable read. She answers many questions about the Christian marriage. She talks about so many issues that are central to a good marriage - the choice we must make to be kind when we don't feel like it, the difference between submission and inequality in marriage, the importance of nurturing our husbands, and many other topics important to the Christian wife.
This book isn't a deep read, nor it is an examination of the psychology of relationships. It's just one woman's impression of what our role as wives should be. But it's appropriately backed by Scripture, and for me, that is more than sufficient.
I highly recommend this book to any wife who is seeking what her role should be in a God-honoring marriage. I'll be keeping this book around for further study.
