Book Description

"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." - Mark Twain What would you say if someone told you that nearly everything you thought you knew about love and marriage in today's world was either outdated, incomplete or just plain wrong? Would you be skeptical? Confused? Curious? This provocative book explores our cultural landscape from the ground up and challenges the reader to re-examine what he thinks he knows about romance and gender relations. The arguments presented will make the case that our society has replaced some difficult truths with comforting lies. And these lies, well-intentioned as they may be, are wreaking havoc on the very foundations of our civilization. Having a solid understanding of the dynamics at play behind the scenes is essential if you want to have a successful marriage in today's world. The challenges have never been greater and the stakes have never been higher. You can't affordto wing it - you need a game plan. Now in its second edition, A Christian Man's Guide is on the front line of the battle between biblical truth and Progressive culture. By combining modern insight with timeless wisdom, it builds a strong case for traditional marriage while equipping men with the tools necessary to successfully navigate the modern dating landscape. Well-researched, timely and bold, this book is a must-read for any Christian man considering marriage in today's world.

Book Description

Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

What every man wishes he knew about what his wife desires most. Authors Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker believe that every man can meet the secret desires of his wife. The problem is, most of us aren't exactly sure what that desire is and how we can go about fulfilling it faithfully. In Every Man's Marriage, you can discover the common misconceptions about what it means to exercise biblical authority and understand the role of submission in the marriage relationship. This groundbreaking book can help men grasp and apply essential but often overlooked principles for marital leadership. Through candid reflections on their own struggles to achieve biblical unity in their own marriages, along with many years of combined experience in marital counseling, Arterburn and Stoeker apply solid, time-tested biblical wisdom to the everyday potential distortions that can lead to strife in a marriage. The second book in the "Every Man" series, this is the perfect follow-up to the best-selling Every Man's Battle. Every Man's Marriage is a terrific resource for establishing mutual respect and sacrifice in your marriage based on Christ's example of loving His bride, the church. Includes a comprehensive workbook for individual or group study.

Book Description

This book is about marriage and its relationships, based on the Song of Solomon. Interpreting this book of the Bible has been a controversial issue for many years. First, it is a book about love, marriage and sex. It is thoroughly immersed in the goodness of the created order. Second, in teaching us about intimate relationships in marriage, it helps us understand how marital union reflects Christs relationship to the church corporately, and the believer individually. Thirdly, the Song of Solomon is Gods inerrant Word. It is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3: 16-17). We cannot keep this issue buried beneath the surface but hovering over everything we understand of the Song. Being persuaded of its divine authorship and sanctifying intent should keep us from embarrassment on the one hand and sentimentality on the other. The Holy Spirit thought it necessary that we be given these love poems to teach and exhort us to love more deeply the one he has provided to share our lives with. It is only right, therefore, that we reciprocate with gratitude for this gift.

With engaging stories and appropriate analogies, 21 Days to Happily Ever After communicates what God expects of every man and shows you how to apply these principles to everyday life in order to live happily ever after with your wife.
