A must-read/do for every Christian wife!

Linda Dillow's book should be required reading of every Christian wife ! Especially helpful for those with children, Dillow addresses submission, priorities, and putting the ZIP back into your love life, amoung other topics. Very easy read, thought-provoking, encouraging, motivating. It's like having a mentor over for tea. I've read many Christian -authored books on marriage; this is THE practical and Bible-centered "how-to" guide for a wife. If I had nothing else on my shelves except Creative Counterpart and my Bible - my library would be complete! This book has changed my marriage, and deepened my Walk immeasureably. Buy it NOW and start pouring over each chapter. Bravo, and thank you to Mrs. Dillow!!!

Every Wife Should Read and Reread this Book!!!

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. (...)

Feminine, but no Mystique!

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.

must for all wives

This is an incredible book. I have read it 3 times now. It is one of those books that you have to own. We are so imperfect as wives that we have to almost use it as a reference book. There are so many things that I would like to change about my husband, but it is amazing that if I do my job as a creative counterpart, he does wonderful things. When I am submissive to him, he is more loving to me and the children. Thanks, Linda for this wonderful biblical help book for women.

A wonderful Christian guide to a better marriage.

Wonderful pointers to bless your relationship with your husband. This book helped me fine-tune a few areas I needed to work on in my relationship. A wonderful guide for a bible study or discussion group too.
