Learn from Great Wives in the Bible

What can wives today learn from the lives of women who lived thousands of years ago?

Much more than we may realize.

In Learn from Great Wives in the Bible, Sam Royalty examines the lives, relationships, decisions, and character of remarkable women recorded in Scripture and draws practical lessons for wives and women preparing for marriage today.

Through biblical examples including Sarah, Leah, Rachel, Ruth, Abigail, and others, readers are encouraged to examine qualities such as wisdom, faithfulness, loyalty, commitment, respect, submission, good understanding, and virtuous character.

These women were not perfect, nor are their lives presented as examples to imitate without careful biblical examination. Instead, their experiences provide valuable opportunities to identify attitudes and principles that strengthened relationships, as well as decisions and behaviors from which modern readers can learn.

The book also addresses the destructive effects that disrespect, unfaithfulness, adultery, uncontrolled speech, and other harmful attitudes can have upon marriage and the home.

At the heart of the study is the biblical principle:

“Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.”

Rather than placing wives under religious, cultural, or man-made bondage, Learn from Great Wives in the Bible calls women back to Scripture as the final authority. The goal is not to measure womanhood by changing social expectations, cultural traditions, personal feelings, or popular opinions, but to examine marriage and character in the light of God’s Word.

The book does not place the entire responsibility for a successful marriage upon the wife. Husbands also have serious biblical responsibilities. Its particular purpose, however, is to focus on what wives can learn from the women presented in Scripture and how those lessons can contribute to stronger marriages and healthier homes.

This is more than a collection of stories about biblical women. It is an invitation to personal examination.

What kind of wife are you becoming?

What are your words, attitudes, and decisions contributing to your marriage?

What can you learn from the wisdom of Abigail, the loyalty of Ruth, the respect demonstrated by Sarah, and the experiences of other wives recorded in Scripture?

For wives, women preparing for marriage, and anyone seeking a biblical understanding of the influence of a woman’s character within marriage, Learn from Great Wives in the Bible offers practical lessons grounded in Scripture.

Learn from their strengths.

Learn from their decisions.

Learn from their character.

Learn from their mistakes.

And above all, allow the Word of God to remain the final authority.
