Have you ever stopped to think about how you will be remembered after you're gone? Will it be as a loving wife, a nurturing mother, a faithful Christian, a loyal friend? Just as King David of the Old Testament is remembered as a "man after God's own heart," in this women's Bible study presented by Elizabeth George, you'll learn how to become "A Woman After God's Own Heart" by discovering balance and fulfillment in every area of your life.

The discussion is then followed by the second video lesson in which Elizabeth George teaches on the previous week's passage.

Rewarded Cycle: The Ingredient That Motivates Us Beyond Our Marriage - What if your spouse does not respond to you as you hoped? What if you tried to reduce the craziness between the two of you and you tried to meet your spouse's deepest need; however, your spouse is still negative and doesn't appreciate your efforts? Is all that you do wasted?
Or is there a reward, a significant reward coming to the husband who puts on love toward a disrespectful wife? Is there a glorious reward coming to the wife who puts on respect toward an unloving husband? This session sets forth the rewards you receive.
