Publisher's Synopsis
By understanding and embracing their role in a marriage, Christian husbands can become better spiritual leaders, partners, and fathers.
In The Roles of the Christian Husband, Reverend Geary Reid discusses not only the qualities a good Christian husband should possess but also the ways in which a husband can best serve his family, the value of clear communication in the family unit, and the importance of romance between a husband and his wife. As the primary leader and provider of his family, a Christian husband must be resilient, dedicated, and practical. Though society teaches Christian women how to prepare themselves for marriage, Christian men often struggle to adapt to life as a new husband-particularly because they are not given much, if any, guidance. To remedy this, Reid emphasizes the important roles a Christian husband should fulfill; most notably, he must lead, motivate, support, advise, communicate with, and provide for his family. Additionally, to have a successful marriage, a Christian husband must cultivate a healthy, loving relationship with his wife, as she is his life partner.
Indeed, a Christian husband is the protector of his household. He is the one who will make decisions for the betterment of his family, shield his family from financial ruin and physical danger, and support and love his wife. With the knowledge contained in this book, Christian husbands can become the spiritual and moral leaders of their families.
