I had become
increasingly unhappy with my life and marriage and had a
constant negative chatter in my thoughts. I especially
blamed my husband for the problems in our marriage and felt
powerless to change. I knew I needed a new direction. One
day I was reading the Cincinnati Enquirer and saw the
Daughters of Sarah article. That day changed
my life! As I went to class and read the material, I saw
changes I could make to start anew. It took many weeks to
change my mind-set, but the support and encouragement I
received made a huge difference. Of course, I still need
reminders, but I can honestly say my marriage is so much
better! Thank you so much for helping me recognize that
marriage is a partnership.

"The concepts in Daughters of
Sarah
really helped me grow into a better wife and person. I wish
someone had taken the time to teach me these things earlier
in life -- fifteen years of marriage is too long to finally
understand that I need to respect my husband! Our marriage
deserved more than it was getting from me, but I am so
thankful that this course filled the gap and taught me how
to be the kind of wife God wants me to be. The classes
were fun while challenging. I am amazed at how much more
empowered and confident I feel in who God created me to be."

"I have to share this story
with you because it is a testimony as to how much I've
changed as a result of Daughters of Sarah.
I was sitting with a group of women from church who were
complaining about communication with their husbands. It
wasn't a gripe session, but it sure was close! As I sat
there, I realized I had nothing to say. At first, I was
feeling a little self pity because I felt left out of the
conversation. Then it occurred to me that I should be
ecstatic that my husband and I don't have any major issues
now! Of course our relationship isn't perfect, we do have
occasional miscommunication problems, but I really do give
Daughters of Sarah
credit for helping us iron out all the major wrinkles in our
marriage. Thank you for what you are doing in this course!
May God truly bless your ministry."

"When my wife mentioned she
would like to take a 12-week course called Daughters of
Sarah,
I didn't give much thought to it. Another class on being a
spiritual and supportive wife was fine to me. I didn't
think she really needed it, but if it made her happy, who
was I to argue? It was surprising to see little changes in
her after a few weeks. Things seemed different in her
approach - more thoughtful and heartfelt. I found myself
intentionally doing the same things she was doing for me,
trying to show her how much I care. What I discovered is
that even though she had been supportive of me in the past,
our relationship rose to new levels! Two years have passed
since she took the class. The positive changes in our home
are unbelievable. As my wife is fond of saying, Daughters
of Sarah
is one of the best gifts I have ever given her!"

"Daughters of Sarah had a huge impact when it
came to showing me what respect looked like. I was way off
base in interacting with my husband with my disrespectful
actions and verbal put-downs. I didn't realize how much
this had greatly affected how our four sons viewed and
interacted with their father. This class gave me the tools
to work with to begin building him up again and make home a
“safe place”. Daughters of Sarah has helped me
ingrain the truth that I need to stay focused on my part of
our marriage rather than trying to fix my husband. Proverbs
14:1 has a whole new meaning for me, “Every wise woman
builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her
own hands.”
