Discover How God Can Make Your
Marriage Glorious by Debi Pearl
A Great Book
Listen to Debi Pearls best-selling book as read by her daughter, Rebekah
Joy Anast, and son, Nathan Pearl. Somewhere over the passing years and
changing culture, women have lost their way. This book is written to lead
them back home. Regardless of how you began your marriage, or how
dark and lonely the path that has brought you to where you are now, you
should know that it is possible to have a marriage so good and so fulfilling
that it can only be explained as a miracle. What God has done through this
book is amazing. We are receiving thousands of letters and e-mails from
people giving testimony to marriages restored and made new. Pastors,
bookstores, and teachers are ordering and reordering cases. The book
now has a new cover and contains a word index at the back of the book to
aid you in topical searches.
Personal Review: Created to Be His Help Meet: Discover How
God Can Make Your Marriage Glorious by Debi Pearl
I was sitting at a friend's house late one evening and we got to discussing
the topics of marriage and men. I told her I love my husband dearly but I
wish I could understand him better and communicate my needs in our
marriage more clearly. My husband and I have not been married all that
long and we are still settling into our relationship. We have a good
relationship, but there are times where we are very prone to trampling the
others feelings quite by accident. I believe it is due to the difference in the
environment where we were raised. He was raised in a home with a stay at
home mom and his family had very conservative values. I was raised in a
very liberal home believing that woman were not just equal to men but
potentially better than men. I expressed my frustration because I wanted to
be heard! I wanted to count and to be important too. My normally
boisterous friend poured me a glass of water and told me to wait right
where I was. She told me she had an answer and she would be right back.
After a few minutes she reappeared with this book in hand.
"It is yours to keep. Read it ALL the way through, even if it makes you
MAD. And it will make you furious at times. Call me when you have
finished and we will talk." My friend shyly smiled as she placed the book in
my hands and sent me on my way. I was confused as to why a book would
make me furious or how it could make a difference. I secured the book
under my arm and under the cloak of the midnight hour, I walked to my car
and drove home, not sure exactly WHAT to expect.
I must admit my curiosity got the better of me and despite the late hour I
began reading the book. It floored me! It was such an interesting read that
I could scarcely put this book down. It was simply amazing! This book goes
into great detail as to what men are like and how to support your husband.
(Just what the doctor ordered). It also helped me see the world through
God's lenses instead of tainted world-view spectacles. Did the book make
me furious? No, I did not get upset at all. It was frustrating that this book
totally clashed with the way I had viewed the world. I took it to God and
prayer and asked Him to show me what He wanted me to believe and how
to make this work in me and MY marriage.
I had never thought myself a selfish person in the past, but after reading
this book I realized that I had plenty of work to do. I needed to get over
some of the nit-picky habits I had that were, simply put, childish and
immature. Though I hate nagging, I tended to try to be my husband's Holy
Spirit and conscious. I wanted him to have a great relationship with God
and to devote a good deal of time with the Lord. I have since realized that I
can pray for what I want while serving my husband (and thereby serving
the Lord) and be the God-given help meet I was designed to be, and God
will impress what He wishes to do...that's not MY job.
All in all this book is quite liberating. We live in an androgynous society
where gender lines are blurred. It is nice to have a distinction of what it is
that I am supposed to do. I now feel special and unique because God has
given me a duty that is unique to my gender that NO MAN can do. I have
learned that I had once bit off more than what I can chew. I was trying to
be God and tell people what they needed to do, I was trying to compete
with men and convince myself that I could do their job better than them,
and I was trying to keep up with the domestic duties of the house. No
wonder I was stressed out and cranky!
I am glad to report that because of the love of my friend and this wonderful
book, I have an even BETTER marriage, I am JOYFUL, and I am not a
stressed out basket case like I used to be! Thank God!!
