Synopsis

Taking the saying "Your wife is not your momma" as the title of his book, Bishop Wellington Boone offers sound advice to the married man who wants to improve his relationship with his wife, and to the woman who wants to see a change in her man.  It is the ideal guide for those who want to have a little bit of heaven in their home.

Boone's message is a simple one: Put God first and serve your wife as Jesus served the Church.  By using your relationship with God as the model for your marriage, you put yourself in a position to love and, in return, be loved, thereby creating a fulfilling and rewarding home life.

Boone shows what works, why it works, and how to apply it to your own life.  No matter whether you are single, divorced, newlyweds, or celebrating a silver anniversary, this book offers important counsel on the critical issues that must be resolved before getting married; how to prevent problems with your spouse and children; and how to avoid being an outlaw instead of a beloved in-law.

Filled with do's and don'ts, tables and checklists, questions to work through, Bible references, and reflective prayers, Your Wife Is Not Your Momma is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to enjoy the rewards of a God-centered relationship.
