Review
------
“In my research with happy marriages, I’ve found that happy
wives have one thing in common: they know that happiness doesn’t
just happen. Sheila gives great ideas that challenge our
conventional thinking about what goes into a happy marriage—and
she nails it! Here’s to a new generation of happy wives.”
—Fawn Weaver, New York Times best-selling author of Happy Wives
Club
“What a wonderful book! Sheila has such a delightful writing
style that you forget you’re learning so much. The teaching
points are inspiring, and the action steps truly can be
marriage-transforming. Many readers will particularly appreciate
Sheila’s delightful way of challenging conventional wisdom as she
offers freshly applied biblical wisdom. One of the best things
you could do for your spouse, your children, and your own
happiness and contentment in the coming year is to read and apply
Nine Thoughts That Can Change Your Marriage.”
—Gary Thomas, author of Sacred Marriage and A Lifelong Love
“The truths in Nine Thoughts That Can Change Your Marriage hold
the power to revolutionize relationships. Sheila Wray Gregoire
gives it to us straight: we can be happy, we can have the good
marriage that God designed. But first we need to change our
thought life. As Sheila challenges pat answers and common
misconceptions about what makes a marriage work, she offers an
alternate, hope-filled path. Her real-life examples and
biblically rooted ins will free you to approach your
marriage with a transformed attitude and renewed energy.”
—Shannon Ethridge, relationship coach, speaker, and author of
the bestseller Every Woman’s Battle
“In this lively and engaging book, Sheila doesn’t just explode
cultural myths about marriage and relationship and replace them
with biblical truth; she also provides ultrapractical tasks for
wives to apply every bit of their new knowledge. I love the
emphasis on working on yourself first, rather than trying to
change your spouse. Way to go, Sheila!”
—Shaunti Feldhahn, social researcher and best-selling author of
For Women Only
“We’ve all heard the adage, ‘It takes two to make a marriage
work.’ And it’s true. But with Nine Thoughts That Can Change Your
Marriage, Sheila Wray Gregoire gives women powerful tools to make
a huge difference in their marriages all on their own. Instead of
focusing on what our husbands should do, Sheila helps us focus on
what we as wives actually can do. Actionable, empowering, and
freeing. A must read for every woman who wonders if her marriage
could be better.”
—Kathi Lipp, author of The Husband Project and Clutter Free
“Although an honest personal assessment can be painful at times
in marriage, it is worth it. Sheila takes us on a journey of
discovering how our personal thoughts may be interfering with our
marriage and gives us practical steps on how to make the lasting
change we long for and desperately need!”
—Ruth Schwenk, speaker, author, and creator of TheBetterMom.com
“‘For as [she] thinks in [her] heart, so is [she]’ (Proverbs
23:7, nkjv). Sheila wisely helps women think y thoughts so
they can create a ier marriage. Think honest, loving,
practical, biblical, relevant—those are the kind of wise thoughts
Sheila will help you think so you can discover the power to build
a love to look forward to living.”
—Pam Farrel, best-selling author of forty books, including Men
Are Like Waffles, Women Are Like Spaghetti and Red Hot Monogamy
“In Nine Thoughts That Can Change Your Marriage, Sheila Wray
Gregoire challenges spouses to take the focus off of what their
marriage partner is doing ‘wrong’ and, instead, change their own
thought patterns to see their spouse in a whole new light. What I
love most about Sheila is that she writes from experience, not
just theory. She is transparent about how her own faulty thinking
created struggles early in her marriage, and she celebrates how
God redeemed her situation to create the beautiful relationship
she now enjoys with her husband. Through this, readers will be
encouraged that a transformed marriage relationship just may
start in changing their own way of thinking.”
