Becoming a wife is the easy part--the romance, the beautiful dress, the thrill of "I do".  It doesn't take long for a soul-burning question to set in: "I do...what?" 

When author Sandy Ralya's marriage was in trouble, she walked into church each Sunday morning desperate for help, but not daring to ask for it because everyone else's marriage seemed so perfect.  Her life and marriage appeared beautiful on the outside, but on the inside it was a mess.

Over time, Sandy turned to God through the Bible and prayer and sought guidance from trusted friends, godly mentors, and wise Christian counselors.  What she learned transformed her life and then her marriage.

In Beautiful Womanhood: A Biblical, Practical Guide for Wives,  Sandy passes on Biblical principles, time-tested tips, and inspiring stories from her life and others to guide and encourage any wife looking for God's best in her marriage. 

This book also serves as the marriage mentoring curriculum for Beautiful Womanhood small groups.  It is not just a marriage book.  It is the starting point for honest dialogue among Christian women!

Praise for Beautiful Womanhood: A Biblical, Practical Guide for Wives

"What started as a popular mentoring program has become a powerful book.  Beautiful Womanhood: A Biblical, Practical Guide for Wives not only gives us practical, life-tested help for navigating the heart of a husband, but guides us through the most important aspect of securing a good marriage: a willingness to focus on God and the state of our own hearts first, before focusing on our husband's behavior.

I believe this book will be life changing for many, many women and their marriages. This is an incredible handbook that every woman needs."

--Shaunti Feldhahn, best-selling author of For Women Only: What You Need to Know about the Inner Lives of Men

"No bride hopes for a miserable marriage and bitter divorce, yet many American women - even Christian women - do not know how to build great marriages. 

Sandy Ralya candidly shares her experiences, others' personal stories and God's wisdom to mentor women for great marriages."

--Florence Littauer, legendary author & speaker
