Why Can’t He Be More Like Me?

Meet the author

A Word from the Author

“Christians are divorcing at alarming rates. Many women simply give up on waiting for their husbands to change, decide it’s never going to happen, and follow what our culture says is the obvious solution—leave and try again.

“I wrestled with this scenario, pleading with God to let me find a biblical way out. But there wasn’t one: my husband was reliable, faithful, a committed believer. But, we were polar opposites and he refused to be squeezed into my mold. I wrote this book to address the pain, frustration, and spiritual growth that can come when you ask the Lord to change you, leaving your spouse’s growth in His hands.”
—Poppy Smith, author of Why Can’t He Be More Like Me?

“This is a great book for any married woman, but perhaps it would be a perfect gift for a woman who is thinking about getting married. It could serve as a dating/courting manual.”

“This book is also a good read for any married person [because] no marriage is perfect; no marriage goes on for 50 years without hitting rough patches and this book can help the reader see where their differences lie and help you to work through them as a couple, prayerfully asking God for guidance along the way.”
