Ephesians 5:33b: And the wife should respect her husband. .. What if
the application of one little verse in the Bible could turn your marriage around? . We've seen it happen literally hundreds of times. . The research speaks
very clearly about how important this is to men. But even followers of Christ struggle with how to implement this concept
of respecting their husbands in their marriage. And we also wonder how the concept of "mutual respect" comes
into play. We're told by the culture that respect should be earned, but the Bible says we should unconditionally respect
our husbands. . In 1999, God started dragging (kicking and screaming, she'd tell you) author Nina Roesner through
a study on Bible submission and respect. She was unhappy in her marriage. She felt alone. She wanted real
intimacy with her husband, but was left with anger and bitterness. What she learned through this process not only turned
her own marriage around, but also became the foundation for the course, "Daughters of Sarah," which her non-profit
ministry has been delivering since 2006. We've seen hundreds of lives changed, marriages saved and hearts renewed as
a result of the course. We've also seen that women who continue growing in this concept of applied respect deepen their
relationship with God and their husband, and even their sons! .
Much of what we've learned is in her book, The Respect Dare. The book, along with
the e-course has been designed to help you learn from the experiences of the Daughters of Sarah graduates. You are here
because you ache for peace and joy in your marriage... and you are tired of the pain. . We can help. . We know what works and we want to help you find peace and joy in your marriage.
Tired of wondering what works? . Want to communicate better with your
husband? . Want
to increase intimacy with him? . Want proven results from real women?
Because when we aren't respectful to our
husbands, we misrepresent Christ and the church - marriage is more about being like Jesus than anything else. We
are called to be a reflection of the life of Christ - as God made us in His image... Ephesians 5:31-33 reads: For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two
will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church.
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect
her husband.
Admittedly, this is difficult to
do, especially in the culture in which we live in. That's why there's The Respect Dare. There's
much at stake, however - it's mind-blowing to consider that Christ's reputation is affected by our marriage. Word on the street: "It's almost as good as just
ONE night" of the popular program,

.. “I just finished your book, and
it was excellent - a very timely word! I will tell all the married women I know about it. I do believe
a lot of women feel guilty about their marriages - feeling they are not the wives they should and could be in Christ. They
need to learn how to be better wives, and it is primarily through respecting our husbands that we will become that wife that
they need.” Beth
Jones, Author . From the Amazon.com website:
 Highly recommended book!, September 26, 2009 Awesome book! The Respect Dare contains a marvelous program
for wives who want to learn what it means to respect their husbands and to put their knowledge into action. The program works
because it encourages wives to move knowledge from their heads to their hearts and behavior. The program is of benefit regardless
of where you are in your marriage (newlywed versus married a long time; happily married versus struggling, etc.).
In addition to the book, an inexpensive on-line e-course is also available. This course allows small groups of women to
work the exercises in the book together and receive feedback and encouragement each week from the author, who is a gifted
mentor. This is a young ministry. As the ministry grows, it probably won't be feasible for the author to continue to provide
this kind of one-on-one feedback. I encourage all wives who buy the book to take advantage of this marvelous on-line opportunity,
too! I say that because I've received significant benefit from the book and on-line program. I recommend both without reservation.
