Elyse Fitzpatrick wondered what the old King James word helpmeet really meant. Was it just one of those Christian terms that was very familiar but rather nebulous? She knew she was supposed to be one to her husband, but she couldn't explain what that meant: bearing children? washing the bathroom floor? having dinner ready promptly at six o'clock?

As she asked these questions, Elyse discovered that when God says He is our helper it means He protects, aids, succors, supports, and surrounds us. She realized that a wife who is reflecting God's helping character desires to strengthen, comfort and protect her husband. She becomes to him a companion who offers what he really needs: help in his God-given calling.

Take this journey of discovery with Elyse, and you'll soon discover your ultimate purpose as a helper to your husband--a helper who is true to God's design.
