I remember being a new bride desiring to be an excellent wife, yet not knowing how on earth that was going to take place since I didn’t have godly role models showing me the path to a Biblical marriage. Goodness, my parents never slept in the same bed when I was growing up. They didn’t even have a good marriage let alone a godly one!

So, I was left to dig into the Bible and figure this godly wife thing out on my own. You can image my surprise when I came across the verse in Proverbs 12:4,

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

Um, yeah, those are some tough words to swallow. Now, I don’t know about you but I did not get all dolled up on my wedding day in hopes to being the kind of wife who brings rottenness to my husband’s bones. Now, if I happen to serve up a rotten meal from time to time, well, I’m okay with that because it’s not like I knew how to cook when I got married either. Good golly, I had so much to learn!

I’ve been happily married now for 18 years and in this guide you'll learn the steps to take toward being an excellent wife, one who is a crown to your man.
