Congratulations! Your life is about to change in wonderful, blessed ways. As a newlywed bride or bride-to-be, God has brought you a husband, the earthly love of your life, a partner. This relationship is now the beginning of a lifetime of joy, love, fun-and challenges. It's been said that the course of true love is not easy, but when you work to make your marriage last, it will be a beautiful, ongoing blessing.

Perhaps you may now be a new mama, or a mother-to-be. As your family grows with the birth of a new miraculous gift of life, your heart bursts with joy. Yet parenthood is not an easy path either, though definitely rewarding. As a follower of the King of kings, the trumpets sound to declare you a royal princess in Christ. As such, you are cordially invited to learn how to set your royal crown upon your head as you read through chapters filled with biblical knowledge, encouragement, and practical advice. In Cultivating Roses, the royal crown is a symbol of God's knowledge, understanding, wisdom, discernment, and grace.

To grow beautiful roses, you need to plant them in a sunny location, use rich soil, add mulch, water them carefully, inspect them often, and prune when needed. Marriage and motherhood take a lot of careful cultivation too.

Author Vivian Sielaff, along with thirty-three amazing women of faith-contributors from all across North America-offer encouragement and creative tips, and inspiration to grow your roses of marriage and motherhood. You'll learn how to treat your husband and how he should treat you to enjoy a satisfied, fulfilling marriage as God ordained.
