This Is So, So Important!
by David Chadwick
God’s desire and design is for husbands and wives to become one in marriage.
This can happen by learning how to become each other’s best friend.
Is your spouse your best friend? When it is so, you enjoy each other. You desire to be with each other. You talk easily with one another. Though you may have different interests, the time you spend together is precious and invaluable. You are energized by being together. If you have time off, you can’t wait to spend it with one another.
Husbands, spend time with your wife. Become her best friend.
God knew the importance of husbands and wives bonding together as friends. In Deuteronomy 24:5, the husband was free from all military service during the first year of marriage. God understood the importance of that first pliable, foundation-building year.
The husband could focus mostly on his wife and marriage. The husband was also free from all public duty. He didn’t have to volunteer for anything. His job description was clear: Be with your wife. Learn to honor her from the beginning so you can honor her forever.
God wants them and us to become each other’s best friend in marriage. Why? It’s easy to leave your spouse.
It’s impossible to leave your best friend.
Discover God’s path to a better marriage
A key to making your marriage the best it can be isn’t a secret. God commands spouses to give honor to one another – and blesses them for doing so!
David Chadwick and his wife, Marilynn, unpack the biblical meaning of honor in these two special books, Eight Great Ways to Honor Your Husband and Eight Great Ways to Honor Your Wife.
You’ll find humor, humility and a passion for Christ that will inspire you to love your spouse in new ways that:
- Reignite the “spark” you remember
- Deepen trust and the intimacy you long for
- Connect you to God’s original and joy-filled intent for marriage
Both books are our way of saying thanks for your gift below to help share Jesus and the life-changing new perspective He gives.
