Biblical Advice for the Husband & Wife by William F. Hill & Debra R. Stacey
This
book goes beyond the usual instruction to husbands and wives and may
be at times difficult to absorb because we don’t always want to hear
the truth. It is our prayer you will be challenged and inspired to
make your marriage better .
Part I -
The Husband
As...Prophet, Priest, Protector, Provider Long before the church was born (Acts 2), Marriage was instituted and
ordained by God (Genesis 2) in the Garden of Eden. Does this mean Marriage is
important and the Church is not? The answer, of course, is no. However, it does seem strange that so much effort is expended to build the
Church while some of the same men put so little effort into making their
Marriage a success. It accomplishes little good to pray God’s blessing on the Church without
corresponding blessing on the Family. Why is this so? Because the Church is made
up of families. If there is bitterness, unforgiveness and hatred in the Family,
there will be bitterness, unforgiveness and hatred in the Church. Multiply the problems by the number of Marriages or Families, and that is the
number of problems you will have in the Church, plus some extra. While I intend
this book especially for the Husband, there will also be profitable teaching for
the Wife. The importance of the Husband being right with God and his Wife cannot be
overemphasized. God has placed the greater responsibility on the Husband,
although the wife also has a great responsibility. It is written to stir you to be the man God wants you to be. It is written to
encourage you to be the Husband your wife thought she was marrying. If you will read this book with a humble and open heart, you will be amazed,
and yes, even blessed as God reveals truths to you.
Part II -
The Wife As...Mother, Model, Manager, Matriarch I realize that there will be wives who will read this book and feel refreshed
and challenged to be a better wife and a better mother. I also realize there will be wives who will read it and close it with a sigh
and say, “I wish it could work for me. If you only knew the circumstances of
what I live with. It is so hopeless.” I want you to know I have been there.
I want to bare my heart to you, yes, even make myself and my husband
vulnerable by sharing some of my experiences with you. I do not wish in any way
to undermine my husband. It is embarrassing to both of us to bring up the past,
but I know that sometimes we all feel that we are the only ones, and it is our
hope that by sharing with you, you will be encouraged and strengthened and given
hope to keep pressing the battles. There are also Bible Study Lessons available
