by Lou Priolo
What does it take to be a "Biblical Husband"?
Sure, many books on the market seem to speak to this issue. However, not many "put it all together" in one volume in a way that is easy to understand and scripturally-sound.
The Complete Husband by Lou Priolo is the ground-breaking book that Christian men and their wives have been waiting for. As Tedd Tripp says, "When the word gets out, it will become a favorite gift to husbands from their wives."
The author uses his years of biblical counseling wisdom to tackle the subject of being a husband—but not just any husband. Rather, the husband that the Lord Jesus Christ wants all Christian men to be. For men who wished their wives had come with an owner's manual, the author reminds us that they did—it's called the Bible!
Far from giving men carte blanche to order their wives around, Priolo shows men how the Bible instructs them to "know their wives." After all, wives have dreams, goals, desires, and sorrows, just like men. It is the husband's job to discover these and to "cultivate" his wife so that she becomes spiritually fed.
Priolo devotes an entire chapter to the subject of sexual relations, encouraging men to think in terms of the whole person and whole relationship.
Above all, The Complete Husband emphasizes that correct biblical thinking leads to tender actions resulting in complete fulfillment in the marriage bond.
"This book is simple without being shallow; it is comprehensive without being tedious. This is where a man will find solid biblical counsel on how to know and love his wife."
—Tedd Tripp, pastor, and author of Shepherding a Child's Heart
