Being a single woman, desiring marriage but suffering failed relationships is the story of thousands of modern christian women today. Another common scenario is being a married woman sentenced to enduring the relationship, not enjoying it. Things don't have to be this way. Knowing to pray is one thing but knowing how to pray and what to say is where many women feel lost.

So much of what we have come to accept as 'the norm' is way below standard and our relationship dysfunction negatively impacts generation upon generation. So how will things change? The battle for love, relationships and marriage must be won on our knees in prayer, coupled with wise action. - Learn why WHY the mandate of intercession has fallen on the shoulders of women in this book. - Learn how to pray and intercede for your man from the position of victory instead of defeat. - Breathe fresh life into your own prayer life and receive healling from relationship hurt and past experiences. - Supercharge your prayers with the spirit of wisdom and revelation. - Release the power of God to transform your husband so that he is built up in faith, in spirit and in character.

How do we reconcile the death sentence - specifically, a sentence of death that was pronounced on the 8th of May in 1987 - with our marriage, and more importantly, with eternallife? In order to answer this question, we need not only to lookback, but especially, to look forward.Before we were joined in marriage, we were two peoplefrom two extremely divergent backgrounds. Frank, the only childborn to affluent parents, had a childhood of privilege; Rachel,the only daughter of a couple who later divorced, had a childhoodracked with difficulties. In spite of the difficulties, Rachelbecame "one of us" - a hard-working American with a kind andgentle heart and a rock-solid belief in God. Despite the privilegesand the affluence, Frank's "choices" - some that he made andsome that had been foisted upon him - led him down the darktrail that ended, eventually, on Death Row in an Arizona prison.The stories of our lives are the stories of the two very differentpeople, who, several years after the death sentence hadbeen pronounced, were married on December 17, 1991. They arethe stories of how Rachel become "one of us" and of how Frank's"choices" led him so far astray. They are the stories of how we met and married; but they go further, for they are the stories thatexplain how each of us discovered Orthodoxy and came to be Eastern Orthodox Christians, and especially, of how the trajectoryof our lives has so completely changed. Merely being OrthodoxChristians can never be enough; we have learned to leadlives of prayer, repentance, and most of all, hope. With our hopefirmly grounded in our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, welook forward to life in Him, because only in Him are all thingspossible.We must emphasize that we did not "become one" uponour marriage, but years later. Through our individual life experiencesand through our shared experiences, we have learned, atlast, what is meant by "And The Two Shall Become One". At therequest of clergy near and dear to us, we offer these, first, ourindividual and then, our shared experiences to the scrutiny andprayers of all who read them. And we pray, always for the salvationof all.
