Sandy Ralya

When author and speaker 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 appeared beautiful on the outside, but on the inside it was a mess. 

Over time, Sandy turned to God by reading 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. 

The loving support that Sandy received from other women on her own journey inspired her to become the founder and director of Beautiful Womanhood, a Christian marriage ministry for wives. 

Since the year 2000, thousands of women have been directly impacted by Sandy's marriage teachings, attending Beautiful Womanhood small groups led by marriage mentors, and applying the Beautiful Womanhood marriage mentoring curriculum. This curriculum is now a powerful book praised by bestselling author Shaunti Feldhahn as "an incredible handbook that every woman needs."

Sandy has been featured on Dennis Rainey's Family Life Today as well as TV's Walking by Faith and Time Out for Women. She has been a sought-after speaker at women's classes, events, and conferences in Texas, Canada, and around the Midwest, and she has led Beautiful Womanhood marriage seminars in Minnesota, Michigan, Montana, and Uganda, Africa.

Sandy's books, Beautiful Womanhood: A Biblical, Practical Guide for Wives and Beautiful Womanhood Mentor Edition are available at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.   

Sandy and her husband Tom have been married since 1980 and live near Grand Rapids, Michigan. They have three grown children and four granddaughters.

Beautiful Womanhood: A Biblical, Practical Guide for Wives made its official debut at the Christian Book Expo in Dallas, Texas, in 2009.
