Summary

What every man wishes he knew about what his wife desires most. Authors Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker (with Mike Yorkey) 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. InEvery 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-sellingEvery Man's Battle.Every Man's Marriageis a terrific resource for establishing mutual respect and sacrifice in your marriage based on Christ's example of lovingHisbride, the church. From the Trade Paperback edition.
