The review about this product

This book is a must read for the Christian man who desires a marriage that honors God. Author Stuart Scott uses the Bible to show that a husband is not only responsible for the material needs of his wife but also for her mental, physical and spiritual needs. Beginning with the evangelical idea that the end of all things is the glory of God, the author lays the foundation for the husband's attitudes and behavior in the marital relationship.

I especially enjoyed the section on the Biblical definition of love. In essence, Scott shows that love is a choice of the will. Whereas, love has an emotional aspect, it is not feelings alone that are the basis of love. He goes on to do a great job of debunking incorrect views of love.

The Christian husband is responsible for the spiritual development of his wife. This book brings great balance to the verse that says "...wives submit yourselves to your husband" by explaining that God intends for the husband is to be the servant-leader of his wife. He is to lead in such a way that he is worthy of her partnership. According to Scott, the Bible lays the bulk of the responsibility of the marriage relationship on the husband. This book demonstrates that if the husband loves his wife as prescribed by the Bible there will be a greater chance for marital fidelity.
