This book saved my marriage. Really. Read it when you're mad at your husband and ready to give up. The most important message I received in the book came from Michael Pearl, the author's husband. He said, "When God puts you in subjection to a man [who is ignorant and foolish] whom he knows is going to cause you to suffer, it is with the understanding that you are obeying God by enduring the wrongful suffering." "And when you suffer wrongfully, as unto the Lord, you bring great glory to God in heaven," he continued. When I read this, I got it.
