To Love, Honor, and Vacuum: When You Feel More Like a Maid Than a Wife and Mother

Customer Reviews:

One of the Best Books I've Read in a Long Time

By FaithfulReader.com - January 24, 2004

I admit I rarely read books that are targeted at married mothers. I'm not married and I'm not a mother. Go figure. But since I moved in with my parents and two younger brothers a few months ago (got laid off, minimizing expenses while looking for a job, you know the drill), my healthy, if distant, appreciation for home engineers has developed into downright deification. As an adult member of the household, I'm frequently overwhelmed by how much needs to be done on a daily basis.Perhaps that's why TO LOVE, HONOR, AND VACUUM strikes me as one of the best books I've read in a long time. Written by home schooling mom and entrepreneur Shelia Wray Gregoire, the book is chock full of practical tips for doing everything around the home from cleaning to keeping spending in check to stoking the romantic fires. A lot of her suggestions aren't necessarily rocket science, but she presents them in a fresh way and gives the business of running a family a new spin.One feature of the book that I... read more

Gregoire's book is wise, insightful and a great read

By Deborah Gyapong - August 23, 2003

Sheila Wray Gregoire�s "To Love Honor and Vacuum: When You Feel More Like a Maid Than a Wife and Mother" is an engaging read, packed with practical advice and original insights. Though this book is especially aimed at women trying to juggle children, households and husbands, even those like myself who only have the husband and the household can find useful tips on time management, re-ordering priorities, and spiritual balance. The chapter �In the Mood� about sex and romance is worth the price of the book. Her gracious advice in this area will help women to understand their husband�s very different responses to sexual intimacy. She explains the need for genuine independence and mystery as a key to keeping romance blooming.

The book applies timeless Christian principles to the thoroughly modern predicament of today�s wives and mothers. Wray Gregoire traces the differences in the lifestyles and levels of support our grandmothers and... read more
