"To be loved and cherished is a woman's heartfelt desire in marriage. This book is written to restore your hope in this desire and to suggest principles to apply in winning a man's genuine love." -Helen Andelin
Drew and I had a rocky start to our relationship. I had a past that I wasn't proud of, and instead of being honest about it, I tried to keep it from him. Despite each lie that he discovered, Drew always found it in his heart to forgive me. However, after 3 months into our engagement, I came clean about the last lie I was holding onto. Of course, it was the worst one. My entire future, and the man I thought I was going to spend it with, hung in the balance. Neither of us knew if we were going to remain together. There was nothing I wouldn't do to keep this man and earn his trust back. So I decided to use every opportunity to show him that I could be the wife he deserved. That's when a friend let me borrow her copy of Fascinating Womanhood. I did everything the book suggested and Drew instantly noticed the difference. I would share with him the things I read and he agreed with all of it. We are certain that this book was a blessing for us both. In more ways than one, Drew has expressed how priceless it is to have a wife who trusts and respects him.
Needless to say, Drew and I are now happily married. While I am still cleaning up the mess I made, I never question Drew's love for me. By his words and actions, I know he adore's me, wants to take care of me, and will protect me with his life. And not out of obligation, but because it is his pleasure to do so. He tells me he loves me and that I'm pretty everyday. "I appreciate you" is not uncommon to hear either.
While God commands husbands to love their wives and wives to respect their husbands, adoration and tenderness is not something women are entitled to. We have to earn it. But rest assured that Fascinating Womanhood will teach you to do just that.
