For Married Men Only


Book Description

What does it mean for a husband to love his wife? Three things, says Tony Evans: a husband must act as his wife’s savior, sanctifier, and satisfier. It is by living out these three principles that a godly marriage will blossom and flourish. In For Married Men Only, each of these principles is explored and explained using real-life examples. How can a husband be his wife’s savior? By learning to love her as Christ loved the church. What about sanctifier? By dying to self and modeling sacrificial love, no matter what the result. And satisfier? By studying and serving his wife so he can fulfill her needs, just as Christ humbled Himself for our sakes.

For Married Women Only

How is a wife to love her husband? By learning three things, says Tony Evans: how to submit, seduce, and surrender to her husband. Out of these three principles a godly marriage will grow. In For Married Women Only, pastor and author Tony Evans explores these three principles in a straight-forward yet encouraging manner. He unpacks the touchy topic of submission and lays out the rewards inherent in this biblical model. On seduction, Evans looks at the quality of attractiveness and how embodying it can be pleasing to your spouse and to God. And with surrender, readers will examine why a wife is the perfect help mate for her husband and how to combat attitudes opposed to God’s design.

Confessions of a Happily Married Man


Book Description

Discover God in the messiness of your marriage, as popular marriage and family columnist Joshua Rogers offers spouses hope with real-life stories from his own marriage and helps you see how God is at work in the ordinary and extraordinary of your relationship. Confessions of a Happily Married Man is a husband's painfully honest account of his first ten years of marriage. It offers a window into the perspective of a man who went from "hello" to "I do" in nine months and then figured out how hard marriage could be. When Joshua Rogers thought back on the marriage books he had read or sermons about marriage he had heard, it occurred to him that he could only remember one thing about them: the stories. That's why this book is anchored by stories that other couples will relate to and can easily learn from. The stories are cringe-worthy, humorous, inspiring, heart-breaking, and full of wisdom--but the author isn't telling the reader what to do with that wisdom. He's letting the reader learn along with him as he's gradually becoming more self-aware, increasingly grateful for his wife, and surprised to discover what God is doing in the middle of it all.




Men and Marriage

Married Men Die First


Book Description

Statistics show that, on average, married men kick the bucket five years before being joined by their loving wives and embarking on an eternity full of conversations, like in their marriage, about feelings. Combining whimsical humor with practical scientific theory, “Married Men Die First: A Blessing,” casually encounters a diverse range of topics and stories in establishing a surprising amount of support for the titled theory. The Illogical thoughts, uncontrollable emotions, and insane behavior that are the foundation of modern marriage and the slow killer of all married men are showcased through historical events, unbelievable but true stories, and eye witness accounts. From men preferring a cellmate over their wife to women who have forgotten more ways to kill with butter than any inmate has ever known, the tales examined are nothing more than others acting out the type of thoughts we've all let creep into our minds at least a few times during marriage. These accounts are combined with author commentary and sub-hypotheses that creatively connect dots that make the outlandish seem practical, and the practical, well, something that died with, “I do.”While the tidbits, stories, history and statistics link together to support the book's overarching theory, it is the exploration into the intricacies of the thoughts, feelings, and resulting actions of those in love that will have the reader cracking the guiltiest of smiles. This humorously insightful look into marriage is topped off with the introduction of a practical new approach to the joining of unions that will change the way you think about marriage, and make you wish you had the balls to broach the subject with your spouse.
