Marriage vows! Sincere words that are filled with joy, anticipation, and hope. We are in love. Keeping our promise to forever love and cherish our husbands will come easily and naturally. Really? Not really. What comes easily and naturally is focusing on ourselves instead of each other. We need the Lord's help. We learn that marriage takes three.

In The Exceptional Wife, author Barbara Spell shares what God says about a wife's role in marriage. They are words that can change us and the way we look at our husbands. They are words that help us make sense out of the most difficult areas of marriage. They are words the Bible uses-words like helper, headship, submission, and respect.

What do these words mean in today's world? Why do we naturally resist the very words that can give life to our marriages? The Exceptional Wife addresses these issues with practical and powerful examples. God's love and encouragement speak in every chapter.
