Top Highlights
“‘Home: where each lives for the other, and all live for God.’” (Page 11)
“A marriage built on the foundation of persons finding happiness by using one another ignores the deepest passions God has placed in our hearts by his Spirit. We discover the happiness God intends for our lives only when we use the resources and privileges God has given us for the good of another.” (Page 11)
“The purpose of this book is to help men and women know how to express God’s grace to one another.” (Page 16)
“Biblical leadership requires a man to place his family’s interests above his own. He uses his leadership to enable each member of the family to know the care of God. A woman who submits to such headship is not feeding a man’s selfishness but rather is supporting the godly nurture of her family. Neither spouse abdicates biblical responsibilities but rather fulfills the biblical definition of love that ‘is not self-seeking’ (1 Cor. 13:5).” (Page 12)
“My children need her. But more than that, they need to know their Lord. How can they know of a Father in heaven who forgives them if their father on earth will not forgive their own mother? How can my wife know the love of God if the spiritual leader in this home will not love her despite her faults?’” (Page 24)
