My Thoughts:  I chose this book to try something different.  I am a married woman and the wife of a pastor and I have to say that this book that was wonderful.   I think every single lady should read it and every married lady should read it so they can be mentors. It seems that today being a single lady is a bad thing and they are told these days are told that they should pray for their future husbands, which is not a bad idea.  The thing they are not told ever is how to prepare to be the Godly wife they are meant to be. This book was a easy read and  very engaging,   Once I started reading it I could not put it down.  I enjoyed how the author talked about her own past relationships, good or bad,  and her experiences as a bridesmaid.  I loved the study guides at the end of each chapter.  The study guides would be great for a study group but they could also be used by one person too. I worked through every single answer and discovered a good  bit about myself I did not know.
