Do You Want to Be Married, or Do You Want to Be a Husband?

BEYOND THE TITLE OF HUSBAND LIES A GREATER CALLING. Many men desire to get married, but how many truly understand what it means to become a husband? Marriage is more than a wedding ceremony, a legal commitment or the fulfilment of a personal dream. According to Scripture, it is a covenant that calls a man to faithfulness, spiritual maturity, sacrificial love, integrity and responsibility. In Do You Want to Be Married, or Do You Want to Be a Husband?, A. A. Fuller challenges men to look beyond the desire to be married and consider the character, commitment and biblical responsibilities required of a godly husband. Rooted in the Word of God and written with practical pastoral insight, this book explores what it means to love, honour, protect, support and serve your wife while keeping Christ at the centre of your marriage. Inside this book, you will explore: God's design for marriage and the responsibilities of a husband.; Biblical manhood, spiritual maturity and personal integrity.; The meaning of sacrificial love, honour and faithful leadership.; Communication, conflict resolution, forgiveness and rebuilding trust.; Emotional intimacy, family responsibilities and financial stewardship.; Recognising and rejecting manipulation, abuse and destructive behaviour.; Remaining faithful through difficulties, change and the different seasons of marriage.; Growing spiritually and building a Christ-centred home. Whether you are single and preparing for marriage, newly married or have been a husband for many years, this book invites you to examine your understanding of marriage in the light of Scripture. The question is not simply whether you want to be married. The deeper question is whether you are prepared to become the husband God calls you to be. A Scripture-centred guide for men who desire to honour God in their marriages.
