Publisher's Synopsis
Edifying, uplifting, and informative. Cleverly opens the understanding of what someone is called to do in marriage. The Marital Mandate if you will. Debunks and stomps out all uncertainty and fear. The uncertainty stems from not being able to determine exactly what to do if the wife goes contrary, if the husband behaves rudely; fear steps in. Fear and doubt then ask, "Have I made the right decision? Was I even supposed to marry this person?" Times we think we're pushing them to do better, we could be pushing them away. After all, better is subjective. It is subject to that individual's perception of what better is. The only better that is truthfully better, is when the husband and the wife walk together, agreeing to serve the Lord with gladness. Reading this makes an individual wonder if there is more they could be doing for their spouse besides fussing at them for not conforming to their ideological suggestions. Makes them consider praying for them more, fasting for them often, teaching more through their life than through their lips. The strong ought to bear the infirmity of the weak. The husband understands he cannot cover his family, except he is covered, walking in righteousness. The wife is reminded she must remain strong in the Lord, diligently praying, studying, and meditating on the Word of God. They plant seeds. They water them faithfully. They understand that their marriage is a blueprint for the whole world around them, and God is the Almighty Architect that drew the measurements. After we learn all this, we learn what that drawn blueprint represents. We find it all right here in the pages of this book. The Husband, That Wife & Their GOD
