Wives Need Love; Husbands Need Respect (Part 2)

Part 2 of a 3 part series
In a marriage, husbands need respect and wives need love just like fish need water: to survive! In this second part, we look at the husbands’s need for respect.

In part 1 of this series, we posited the view above based upon Dr. Emerson Eggerichs book “Love & Respect and encourage you to get a copy to more fully understand the principles. We want to focus now on the husband’s need for respect and how a wise wife, with good intentions, can respond and embark upon a new path.

Christians Can Get Wacky About Word Curses

By Don Ibbitson

Words have creative power, for good or evil (Prov. 18:21, Matt 17:20,James 3:8,9) and part of our teaching for counseling and deliverance ministry preparation involves breaking word curses.
