David Edgington wrote a book titled “White Knights and Reviling Wives” and asked me to give a review of it. So, I read it, and it only took me a few days! It is easy to read and very informative. Since I have been mentoring women for over 22 years, I have encountered reviling wives. My husband has mentored many men with reviling wives. It’s absolutely devastating for the men married to them. It would be better for them to live on the corner of a roof or in the wilderness, as King David warned men about quarreling and contentious wives. They tear their homes down with their own hands (Proverbs 14:1).

David Edgington has mentored many couples with a reviling wife. Few ever change. They are trapped in their rebellion against God due to a hardened heart. He wrote, “If she remains in her sinful state, it is evidence that she is not truly born again.” True believers in Jesus Christ are known by their fruit. If the fruit is only bad, they are most likely not true believers.

How does a woman become a reviling wife? She wants to rule her husband as Genesis 3:16 states. It’s all about control. We have this desire to control our husbands, except maybe the golden retriever type personalities. We think we know best, so when our husbands aren’t listening to us and doing as we insist. we become bitter, then bitterness defiles us.

This book is mainly written to men who have reviling wives, and for pastors who mentor couples in this situation. The sad thing is that many pastors agree with the wives (white knights) and secular courts are all feminized, so men have little chance of overcoming in this situation. Most reviling wives end up divorcing their husbands, taking more than half of their stuff and money, then turn their children and even grandchildren against them. It’s no wonder so many young men no longer want to get married! These reviling wives are wicked. They are being led by the enemy of their souls whose goal is to kill, steal, and destroy.

David also warns about three women in particular who are leading many women astray and destroying many marriages with their abominable teachings. Sheila Gregoire is one of them. My husband and I tried to reason with her many years ago. We could easily see her false teachings. She always sides with the women against their husbands. She actually trains women to divorce. Don’t learn from these women! We are to mark and avoid false teachers.

He does teach men how to stand strong against their reviling wives. He even seems to believe they have a reason to divorce when their reviling wives leave them sexually, emotionally, and eventually physically (moves away). They have abandoned their husbands completely. These women will reap what they have sown.

So, why should women read this book? In order to recognize a reviling woman. They infiltrate churches too. Women also need to make sure they don’t become one and have no traits of a reviling woman. It also proves the great need for the “aged women” in the churches to get going and teach the younger women biblical womanhood as God commands in Titus 2:3-5. Women breathe the feminist agenda their entire lives. They know nothing else. Reviling wives are going to become more and more common as women continue to reject God’s will for them. We must be prepared to give an answer for our faith, and why the path they are on only leads to destruction.

I hope you will all read this book. It is worth your time. I have been teaching most of these things to women for years, but it’s always good to hear from a man’s perspective who is dealing with these abused men. You can order the book HERE.

It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
Proverbs 21:19
