Great career? Check. Upgraded wardrobe? Check. New home and car? Check. God finally sending your Boaz? Check, check, and check! The days you have dreamed of since you were a little girl are here. Status update: "Living my best life!"

You marry your Boaz and enter the marital bliss you have always envisioned-sharing morning kisses, engaging in deep discussions, rarely disagreeing about anything, having lots of fun, loving wholeheartedly, and laughing often. Soon, you will be celebrated as "couple goals" ... until you are not.

Wait, that's not what marriage is like all the time? It takes work? I won't be head over heels in love with my husband all day, every day? This is not what I thought, not by a long shot!

No Lipstick Required is a great guide for wives in any season of marriage. Renee Reed gives practical advice on managing the day-to-day aspects that come along with marriage. From not allowing the sisters of Pride, Pettiness, Anger, and Tension to gain entry to your marriage to discovering the impact and true purpose of your wifely influence as "helpmeet," Reed offers deep wisdom about how to walk through disagreements together, hear from God, and win in marriage.
