How is a wife to love her husband? By learning three things, says Tony Evans: how to submit, seduce, and surrender to her husband. Out of these three principles a godly marriage will grow.
In For Married Women Only, pastor and author Tony Evans explores these three principles in a straight-forward yet encouraging manner. He unpacks the touchy topic of submission and lays out the rewards inherent in this biblical model. On seduction, Evans looks at the quality of attractiveness and how embodying it can be pleasing to your spouse and to God. And with surrender, readers will examine why a wife is the perfect help mate for her husband and how to combat attitudes opposed to God’s design.
Originally published in 2002 as Tony Evans Speaks Out on a Woman’s Role in the Home, this booklet has sold nearly 38,000 copies. Use it alone or with the companion volume, For Married Men Only.

I noticed the men's companion to this book while waiting to pick up a prescription having tried over the years to get my husband to read "marriage books" I was hesistant. But the slim size gave me hope so I bought it. I then downloaded this book right away. I wish I would of read it sooner because we had a horrible argument that night that could of been prevented had I followed a pointer or two from this book.
Nevertheless it was a quick read for me and that is just one good thing. Many marital books have covered the same ground yet so many of the others don't speak plainly and frankly. All the good truths are buried in hyperbole and one is left feeling like you could never possibly do it.
Tony Evans was different. As I was reading I felt like he was right there in my head. As soon as he pointed out a biblical truth I would immediately think "But what about.....?". And the next line would be something like "if you are thinking....then here is the answer!"
I appreciate the straight foward application to God's Word. It didn't leave much wiggle room but I think we look too often for a way around what God has clearly called us to do.
The best part is that the book clearly focuses us as wives on just Whom we are truly submitting to, our ultimate Husband.
I highly recommend this. Wish I had read it before I got married!
