| A
Practical Guide To Biblical Husbandry
What does it take to be a "biblical
husband"? Sure, many books on the market seem to speak to
this issue. However, none of them has ever "put it all
together" in one volume in an easy to understand and scripturally
sound way - until now.
The Complete Husband by Lou Priolo
is the ground-breaking book that Christian men have been waiting
for. In it, the author turns his years of biblical counseling
wisdom to the subject of being a husband. But not just any
husband. Rather, the husband that the Lord Jesus Christ
wants all Christian men to be. The author reminds men that if
they wished their wives came with an owner's manual, they did; it's
called the Bible! Far from giving men carte blanche to order
their wives around, Priolo shows men how the bible instructs them to
"know their wives." After all, wives have dreams, goals,
desires - and sorrows, just like men. It is the husband's job to
find out what they are and "cultivate" his wife so that she
becomes spiritually fertile.
The author reminds his readers that
pleasing their wives does not automatically equate to the sexual
arena. Men must think in terms of the whole relationship, and
the whole person. However, since he is aware that sexual
relations is part of the blueprint God created for marriage, he
devotes and entire chapter to the subject. Above all, Priolo
stresses that it is correct biblical thinking that leads to tender
actions, that in turn leads to complete fulfillment in the marriage
bond. 293 pages
