The Blessings In Our Lives
The Woman’s Curse shares with readers your own experiences of building a successful marriage and the challenges Christian women face in today’s world. What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
The most important idea was… as a woman to realize that I want the final word, but to know that the responsibility of the family in general falls on the husband. Typically if a woman is submissive he will listen to her advice and take it to heart, but he feels a burden to take care of the family. We as women don’t understand this and want to not only take over but to rule over the man. I found out that it was my curse to want to do that.
What is a common misconception you feel people have about women being submissive to their husbands?
I believe women think that men would dominate them with an iron fist. However, I think that a man would appreciate it and actually love her more and want to give her almost anything she desires because of the submissiveness. Women think they feel less important or that God sees them as less than equal, however this is not true it is just a different role. Like a president and a governor. One is higher than the other but they both have important roles.
What is one thing you hope readers take away from your book?
If we could assume our role in submission to our husbands our lives would change forever. Their children’s lives would reflect even what they see. It changes in every aspect of our lives from the smallest to the biggest areas of our lives in a positive way. When we do things with Gods design we reap the blessings in our lives and in our families.

The Woman’s Curse
Ginger Taylor’s The Woman’s Curse is an intellectually rich amalgamation of bible study, personal accounts, and pragmatic guidance tailored to couples. From the onset, Taylor candidly admits her years-long struggle with being an ideal wife, which sets the tone for this divinely inspired text. Her intent is to aid women in mastering the art of being a “submissive” wife and fulfilling their potential as the jewels in their husbands’ lives.
Taylor’s narrative is a journey of self-realization that carries the reader through a boisterous childhood, the pains of marital dissolution, and the tribulations of rearing seven children. She shares her joy in discovering love again with her second husband, giving us a window into her enduring fortitude and indomitable spirit. Her transparency regarding her struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder creates a relatable narrative that will strike a chord with many.
Throughout the text, Taylor deftly intertwines biblical teachings with stimulating questions ranging from theological to those echoing a marriage counselor’s office. She draws inspiration from the biblical story of Sarah, encouraging women to follow in Sarah’s footsteps by referring to their husbands as “Lord,” signifying a submissive wife. She ardently advocates for the importance of sexual intimacy within marriage and proposes that child discipline should chiefly be a father’s duty.
Undoubtedly, The Woman’s Curse will provoke intense reactions and potentially attract criticism, particularly given the current societal evolution in gender roles. However, Taylor unequivocally champions the idea that women are not inferior to men; she perceives their unique roles as an integral part of divine design. She holds women in high esteem, underlining their invaluable presence in men’s lives.
Despite Taylor’s self-confessed non-writer status in her introduction, it becomes evident that she is brimming with enthusiasm, which seeps into her words. I have immense respect for her resilience and commend her unswerving commitment to bettering the lives of others. That said, the occasional challenge of following her narrative due to an abundance of ideas or unintentional repetition is a minor shortcoming.
The Woman’s Curse is a bold exploration of marriage, spirituality, and the role of women according to the author’s interpretations of biblical teachings. Taylor’s openness about her personal journey and her commitment to fostering healthier relationships provide ample food for thought, even for those who may not subscribe to every aspect of her worldview. This book provokes contemplation and discussion, making it a valuable read for anyone interested in delving into a unique perspective on traditional roles in marriage.
