Beneth Peters Jones did a marvelous job hitting the nail on the head in the book, Ribbing Him Rightly. She explains the roles, duties, and privilege of being a fine Christian wife--along with Scripture to back it up. The title perks interest, (at least it did with me) and refers to the wife's function in the marriage--and as a godly woman. We women, in fact, have way more in common with ribs and their function than one would think! When God created woman from out of man He used Adam's rib to do it. He could have just as easily used one of Adam's toes, or anything else, but I believe God had a purpose for choosing a rib. Besides giving fascinating insight into the similarity of ribs and their functions, and godly wives, Mrs. Jones speaks plainly and practically--using humor, irony, and personal experience to reach the heart of the reader and cause them to think. Although I am not married I have already read this book twice and enjoyed it immensely. My mom read this book when she was a teenager as well, and she said it helped prepare her mentally for marriage, and understanding better how guys think.
Lastly, it's one of those books that is very applicable (practicality not formulas) and could be passed on from mother to daughter with benefit for both. Enjoy your read. :)
