Excellent! Recommend couples married, as well as though courting, to read this.

I think this is an excellent book for both wife and husband but it has more for the husband. It is solid, biblical and very different from the trendy books out there for husbands. He is really telling it like the bible says, in simple but convicting terms. He addresses many areas of marriage but

it's not a huge book to read. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised at the content! I would highly recommend this for those whose husbands are willing to read something to give them a foundation on biblical husbandry!

Perhaps the clearest explanation of Christian marriage available in print. Wilson walks through major biblical texts pertaining to Christian marriage and expounds a beautiful image of the Christian home

How would you describe the spiritual aroma of your home? The source of this aroma is the relationship between husband and wife. Many can fake an attempt at keeping God's standards in some external way. What we cannot fake is the resulting, distinctive aroma of pleasure to God.
