I re-listened to this terrific tape series, Husbands & Wives. Douglas
Wilson gets down to business as he addresses married couples and their
responsiblities to each other and to God. I was quickly reminded of my
Biblical duties as a wife. Sometimes, I hear the rest of our culture telling
me how to act as a wife (usually in a disrepsectful & non-submissive way).
After listening to these tapes, I was greatly encouraged to follow my husband
and support him in his endeavors (everyday & long-term). These tapes offer
you an opportunity to look at yourself in your own marriage and compare it to
the Bible, not some Christian author. Although there is an entire tape on the
Biblical Responsibilities of a Husband, I spent more time contemplating what
it takes for me to follow God's commands as a wufe- not keeping a list of all
the things that my husband may or may not do.
The next series,
Biblical Courtship, is one I have begun with my 2 teenaged daughters. On
our way to a fun-filled day at the Houston Quilt Festival, we listened to the
first tape about Parental Authority. It helped set the stage for a young man
to approach the father before approaching a young lady. My girls have heard
this before, but there was ample discussion afterwards. Sometimes it is good
for our kids to hear messages from those outside our family-just to give a
little reinforcement.
The BIGGEST STRENGTH of
both these series is the fact that Wilson continually goes to the Scriptures
to draw conclusions about these two hot topics. he uses Scriptures to state
what the role of a wife is or whether or not dating is appropriate. Both of
these tape series are available for purchase.
