About the Book:
The Beautiful Wife uses these inspiring stories along with biblical principles to guide and encourage any wife looking for God's best in her marriage. The Beautiful Wife answers serious questions women have about their roles as wives. Discussing everything from romance and money to beauty, communication, and sex, Sandy challenges women to open up and share their journeys so that together they can see God's plan for their marriages. "It is my passion to help women discover God's heart for their marriage, just as the other women helped me," writes Sandy. "When women share with each other the details of their journeys with God as wives, it's a beautiful thing indeed." The Beautiful Wife has two companion resources - Prayer Journal and Mentor's Guide.

My Thoughts and Review:
The Beautiful Wife is not a book about outer appearence, but a book on making changes from within to be that "Beautiful Wife" that God wants you to be for your husband and your family. Many marriages have "issues" and spouses can easily blame the other for the "downfalls", but in order to make positive changes we need to make changes within ourselves first, all while seeking God's guidance. "The Beautiful Wife" was born after Sandy Ralya sought the advice and counsel of Mentors and Counselors to help her struggling marriage. God worked in a miracle in her life and marriage just when Sandy believed her marriage was beyond repair.
I really, really enjoyed this book! It has been quite the "eye opener" to me. I have such a stubborn streak that many times I need something to "hit me on the head like a boulder". I can honestly say that Sandy did that in a Gentle Way. The book is filled with Biblical Advice and Scripture. Each chapter ends with Reflection Questions section and First Steps section, how to apply the chapter to your life. Sandy really covers lots of topics in this book including Communication, Sex, Money, Taking care of yourself, and many more! I also really enjoyed the Companion Books: Prayer Journal and Mentor's Guide. The Beautiful Wife is great for Group Study or as an Individual Study. I give high recommendations for a Beautiful Wife!
