Even So, She Smiles at the Future

A daily devotional written explicitly for spiritually unequal marriages.

Even So, She Smiles at the Future is a reader-friendly devotional styled like a conversation over coffee. Written to shake up entrenched patterns in the marriage relationship, the book mobilizes a couple toward spiritual unity. The book, rather than being centered on the husband, focuses on God's plan working through his wife-the only person we can control. The believing wife is a divine instrument of God, passionate by intention but (mostly) quiet in outreach with her spiritually resistant husband. Writing from the experience of a once-upon-a-time unequally yoked marriage, Kay shares real-life accounts of women who have lived and loved while alone in the Spirit.

Kay's input for impact approach will challenge every reader to "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:33 NKJV). The prayers of a believing wife powerfully enact God's movement in our marriages, often with the cost of denying oneself and picking up his Cross anew. Jesus tenderly offers his peace in the process. Our joy settles deeply in knowing whatever the outcome, we are his, and in Christ, our contented hearts can say, "Even so, she smiles at the future" (Proverbs 31:25 NASB).
