When we speak the words "I do" at our wedding, what does "I do" truly mean? Does it mean we will do everything we're told to do for our husbands? Who set the standard for how we're supposed to behave, what we're supposed to do, and how we're supposed to act as wives? Is there a true "one size fits all" standard for marriage? And is it possible to have a successful, fulfilling marriage for both husband and wife for "all the days of our lives"?In How to be a God-wife, Not Just a Good Wife, author April Young tells women how living as a happy wife can lead to a happy life, not just for us as women, but for our husbands as well.
