Like the first-steps and the how-tos of cooking in the cookbooks I received at my bridal shower, foundational guidelines to spiritual growth and being a godly wife are simple.
Aren’t you thankful that God keeps it simple when it comes to such a mystical, mysterious element as spiritual growth? We only need to know what God says is the basic recipe for being a woman and a wife after His own heart…and to faithfully follow His recipe. That’s what “great creations” are made up of. And I’m praying that you and I will become just such creations as we faithfully follow these very few-but-simple steps for growing in the Lord!
It’s important that you talk to your husband about your desire to go to church. Ask him if he would like to go along with you. Tell him you value his opinions. Also share the information you’ve gathered and ask for his input. If he doesn’t want to go to church with you, that’s okay. Your assignment is to be friendly, excited, and to make a move in the direction of attending church yourself. God’s job is to work on your husband’s heart. And, of course, you’ll be praying for him!
Dear Lord, I long to be a woman and a wife after Your own heart. Please guide me and help me. Amen.
A Wife After God’s Own Heart and A Husband After God’s Own Heart: these helpful resources reveal how you can have a wonderful marriage filled with mutual love, friendship, and joy.

I suggest this schedule for your first five days of Bible reading:
Day 1 Genesis 1
Day 2 Genesis 2
Day 3 Genesis 3
Day 4 Ephesians 5
Day 5 Colossians 3
Then go back and begin at Genesis 4 and finish the book of Genesis one day at a time, one chapter at a time.

I’ve heard it said that you can tell the spiritual maturity of a man by looking at his bank account or his credit card statements. Well, how do yours look? What do they reveal about you and your spiritual maturity? What would another person see if they were allowed a peek at your accounts?
