What Husbands and Wives Aren’t Telling Each Other
Feb 21–22, 2008 - comment
Today our special guests are Steve and Annie Chapman, Dove Award winning recording artists, well-know authors and conference speakers. Today we’re going to be discussing their book, What Husbands & Wives Aren’t Telling Each Other. Steve and Annie travel around the country teaching biblical principles to thousands of couples each year. As a matter of fact, they interviewed over 500 couples as part of the research for this book.
Marriage is one of the biggest risks anyone ever takes, no matter how well acquainted the two people might be. I can’t help cringing today when I think of how little I actually knew my wife before we married. And I’m sure many in our listening audience would say the same thing, yet we all exchanged vows and promised to walk through life side by side.
The natural inclination for a young bride and groom is to try to grow closer by exclusively focusing on the other, desiring to solely please their mate. Yet a more lasting and rewarding method for marital bliss is the topic of today’s discussion: Learning to be teammates.
Many of us will have to consider how we can include Jesus as a key member of our team. One of the ways we can help our listeners here at For Faith and Family is by passing along books such as Steve and Annie’s to help our listeners be better prepared to face the inevitable difficulties they’ll encounter.
