First Readers' Thoughts
One of the best things I did leading up to my wedding day
"Reading Becoming a Husband: 21 Days of Preparation for a Son of God was one of the best things I did leading up to my wedding day. My wife and I had known each other for over 10 years, been dating for a few years, and had been very intentional in navigating our relationship and preparing for the next stage. But there are things you don’t know, until you know.
Reading Becoming A Husband, and my wife going through Becoming A Wife, helped both of us begin to think about and prepare for real life marriage situations we had not experienced, and therefore had not thought about. Leann shares their own real experiences, the good and the bad, helping young couples to prepare ahead of time for navigating all the new experiences marriage brings, and how to come out on the other side stronger by keeping God and your spouse at the center of it all.
I may be biased, but on the flip side, I think that makes the vulnerability and tough, real life sharing of hardships and how to navigate them that Leann writes, even more powerful."

Leann reminds us of real, raw, emotional marriage
"We live in a society that empowers the individual, seeks help and transformation from within, and teaches that our perceptions are our reality. These tenants have fostered blame-shifting and lack of personal accountability, which has wreaked havoc on biblical marriages. It is refreshing in a culture that shirks personal responsibility yet elevates self-empowerment to read a scripturally truthful view of marriage, reminding us that if the hierarchy in your relationship is not God first, spouse second, self last, you are building on a broken foundation. Once we re-orient our priorities, recognize that the only perfect creature in our marriage is Jesus himself, and brave the vulnerability that accompanies absolute openness with our spouse, we can enjoy Bible marriage.
Leann reminds us of real, raw, emotional marriage—not what we have seen and read and tried to force our marriages to resemble. And better yet, she reminds us that the other side of honesty and vulnerability is not consequence, but intimacy and happiness."
- Patrick Murphy
A firm foundation to the most special chosen relationship
"Many couples (especially wives to be) focus so much on preparing for their wedding, they neglect the ways that they can prepare for their marriage.
Becoming a Wife: 21 Days of Preparation for a Daughter of God is a special, meditative journal that urges couples to think past their DJ setlist and reception menu, and reflect on their partner’s God-given love language or their approach to conflict. It creates a firm foundation to the most special chosen relationship that God has given us in this little lifetime."
- Lydia Margheim Murphy
Not just something you read but something you experience
"Reading Becoming a Wife: 21 Days of Preparation for a Daughter of God helped me learn how important it is to be intentional in every part of your marriage — in communication, in decisions, and in how you love each other. The book reminded me that keeping God at the center is what truly holds everything together.
I think it helps couples have the hard but necessary conversations that they might normally avoid. It creates space for honesty and helps you see each other’s true hearts, which leads to deeper understanding and connection.
It ‘s very interactive and intentional — not just something you read, but something you experience together. It encourages you to slow down, set aside time, and truly talk with your spouse about things that matter. The book builds a heart of honesty, love, and unity. It reminds couples that marriage isn’t about perfection but about partnership — walking through life together with a mindset of grace, commitment, and forever."
