The marriage failure rates have seen a slight decrease in recent years, however, we are living in an era where more couples are experiencing long periods of separation before ultimately divorcing. The need is great and women are looking for help. They are seeking help from well-meaning friends, books, misinformed magazines or social media. According to Marketdata Enterprises in Tampa, FL, "women are the number one target for the self-help industry," whereas "men are less likely to buy into self help."  With this being the case, according to sales data in 2007  "there were 13 million relationship self-help books sold" (Marketdata Enterprises; May 2017).   It is clear married women need support, guidance and wisdom to thrive in marriage.  In 2011 Myreesha Franklin started Wife Life to educate, equip and empower married women to be successful in marriage.  Over the past six years Wife Life has built a community of like minded women whose main goal was to support and empower each other to walk boldly through their personal wife-life.  To learn more click the links below.
