Respect Her Household Management Without Meddling
Bob: I’m guessing that we have a lot of guys listening who would say I can relate to what you’ve been talking about. I look at my wife and she is an extremely capable, gifted woman. And she is respected. I don’t know how many would say I’m known as my wife’s husband but I think there are a lot of guys who would say I need to learn how to be a loving leader. A provider and a protector for this capable gift God has given me. That’s what the book Jess has written is all about. It’s called I Married Wonder Woman, Now What?
We’ve got copies of it in our FamilyLife Resource Center. You can go to our web site FamilyLifeToday.com and the information is available there. Again, it’s FamilyLifeToday.com. The book is called I Married Wonder Woman, Now What? On the same page we’ve got information about other books we have available to help guys get engaged in their assignment as men and as husbands.
Go to the web site familylifetoday.com or call toll free 1-800-358-6329. That’s 1-800 F as in “family” L as in “life” and then the word TODAY. Someone on our team can let you know how you can get a copy of Jess’s book sent to you.
Speaking of books to help men in their assignment as husbands this month we are making
available the book The Christian Husband. A book I had an opportunity to write a
number of years ago. It gives a job description. A manual for men to understand what is
fundamental assignment as a husband.
We’re making the book available to those of you who are able to help support the
ministry of FamilyLife Today with a donation of any amount. FamilyLife Today is

Tomorrow we’re going to continue or conversation with Jess MacCullum and find out how a guy who I hear some guys say I out punted my coverage or I married up I’ve heard those expressions. How does a guy who did that love and lead. We’re going to talk about that more tomorrow. I hope you can be with us.
