Hi, INTRODUCTION POST Hello everyone, I'm Cassaundra Hello, family! I'm Cassaundra Webb, an author and keynote speaker from Atlanta, and I'm so glad to be here. I grew up around marriages that weren't happy homes. I watched women who were unhappy in their marriages, and I noticed that nobody was talking about how to become a wife. Everyone was excited about the ceremony and saying "I do," but no one prepared us for what came after. I've been married 27 years now, and what I've learned is this: many are asked to be married, but few become wives. Marriage gives you a title. Becoming a wife is a transformation that happens when you put God first and grow into the covenant. That message became my first book, Many Are Asked to Be Married, But Few Become Wives, and grew into The Webb's Transformation Series through my company, The Webb Formation. I'm here to connect, learn from all of you, and encourage any woman who is in the "becoming" season. So tell me: what's one thing you wish someone had told you before you got married?MARRIAGE CATEGORY 27 years of marriage: what I've learned I've been married 27 years, and people often ask me the secret. It isn't a perfect husband, and it isn't a perfect me. What kept us was this: I chose to align with God first, even before my husband. I learned to listen to God and obey Him, even when I didn't feel like it. Here are a few things I've come to know: • Marriage gives you a title, but God makes you a wife. Saying "I do" was one day. Becoming a wife has been a lifetime. • Put God before the man. Many of us were taught to love a man before we love God, and that's why so many marriages struggle. • It's a covenant, not just a contract. Marriage is God's design, and when I treat it that way, I handle hard seasons differently. • You will have to change. New thinking, new habits, a new way of talking. Letting go of old beliefs is part of becoming a wife. I'm still learning. What's one thing marriage has taught you?
