Marriage in the Bible: What Do the Texts Say? is an honest engagement with the relevant passages in the two primary Testaments of the Christian Bible.

Why do you love the way you do—and why does love sometimes go wrong? Every relationship is shaped by something we rarely see: attachment. It’s the invisible wiring that forms in childhood and quietly shapes how we connect, fight, pull away, and come back. In Love Styles, pastor and author Kevin A. Thompson shows how this hidden pattern explains so much of what we experience in life, love, and faith, and how it traces all the way back to Genesis 3. When sin entered the world, fear and shame replaced safety and connection. We’ve been struggling to love securely ever since. But the good ...

As Helpmeets learn to submit to their own husband as God says in Ephesians 5:22 God will prevail. The strategies and information in this book sharpens the spiritual tools to become the suitable ...

God ordained marriage between a man and a woman for companionship, precreation, and so man would have a "helper suitable." However, God says much more in the Bible about husbands loving their wives than He says about wives submitting to their husbands.
