I received this book along with the study guide for my wedding, but didn't pick it up till after our 1st anniversary (they were put away in storage somewhere). But I have not put them down since! They are AWESOME for an attitude adjustment! :)
This main book (not just the prayer book) has chapters introducing each prayer, then a prayer incorporating some scripture, and finally some separate scriptures relating to that area of life. This study guide book accompanies that book (it has none of the prayers in it, and so is a lot less useful without having the main book). It is a very practical guide through scriptures and prayer - a helpful way of looking at your life and your husband's, and working through a more specific way of praying for him. Stormie asks questions that cause you to reflect on specific things you see in your relationship with your husband, or in his relationship with God/others. I think the study guide book should automatically come with the main book, because it gets you thinking specifically rather than generally while you're praying!
The study guide book follows the sections in this main book exactly and recommends one section per week. I found that I would complete the entire study guide in about 30 - 45 minutes one morning, and then spend time throughout the week looking back over the questions/answers as I prayed through that section in the main book.
I have prayed through the Power of a Praying Wife countless times over the past two years (I just use it continuously, and when I get to the end I start again), and I have seen the fruit of my labor in a constantly changing (for the better) attitude in my own heart, as well as a God-given understanding of my husband and his needs. I highly recommend buying both of these books together and never ceasing to use them!! You do NOT need a "bad" marriage or relationship for this book to be helpful. I recommend it to EVERY married woman!Get more detail about The Power of a Praying® Wife.
