From Wife-ish to Wife: Lessons in Love, Life, & Longevity, (Paperback)

<p>You said "I do" to the one you love. So why does marriage feel so much harder than you expected?</p><p>The arguments that spiral. The silent standoffs. The slow drift from partners to roommates. If any of this sounds familiar, you are not failing. You are wife-ish. And there is a way through.</p><p>In <i>From Wife-ish to Wife</i>, Arlener Steels Poydras takes you inside 30 years of a real marriage and gives you a front-row seat to what it actually takes to make love last. Each chapter confronts a real situation head-on: money conflicts, communication breakdowns, jealousy, insecurity, spiritual tension, and loss. Based on her own experiences, she walks young women through the mindset shifts, personal disciplines, and practical approaches that transform reactive behavior into mature, intentional partnership. And because a marriage takes two, every chapter closes with an unfiltered perspective from the husband, giving you the conversation most couples never get to have.</p><p><i>"This is not a book of perfection. It is a book of truth. It is raw, it is real, and it is written with love."</i></p><p>Whether you are newly married, engaged, or years into a marriage that needs a reset, this is more than a book. It is a blueprint for building a marriage strong enough to go the distance. You have the title. Now it is time to learn to walk in it!</p>
