Chapter 6 Husband and Wife Teamwork in the Marriage Cockpit
Teamwork within marriage…
- Mutual understanding of the Romo-Whitten Principle
- Mutual accountability
- Mutual submission
Man as a poor understanding of authority when…
- He lacks interest in his wife’s input and disregards her feelings
- He forbids the children to discuss his decisions
- He trusts few people
- He displays an intense need to control those closest to him
A mature man…
- Loves his wife sacrificially
- Loves his wife with understanding
- Loves his wife with verbal praise
- Encourages his wife to use her gifts
One way that some men keep from being mutually accountable is through intimidation.
Chapter 7 Restoring the Ancient Boundaries of Gender and Marriage
A child’s sexuality is at the very core of his identity.
In our culture, two things are being assumed…
- Gender is not fixed; it is fluid
- Marriage is not restricted to one man and one woman…
Genesis 1:27
- Our maleness and femaleness is an essential part of our humanity as God has created us
- It is good to be male and it is good to be female - because in either case, we bear the image of God
- We have neither the right nor the power to change the sex that God has given us because it is a part of his created order
Chapter 8 How to Raise Masculine Sons and Feminine Daughters
“Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.” William Penn
Ephesians 6:4 - Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
How can a father embitter this children:
- By overprotection
- By favoritism
- By discouragement
- By forgetting that a child is growing up, has a right to ideas of his own, and the need not to be an exact copy of his father
- By neglect
- By bitter words and outright physical cruelty
Fathers should raise their children with tenderness:
- Listen to them and respect their feelings
- If you have been wrong or too harsh, be man enough to confess and ask their forgiveness
- Listen to the input your wife gives you about each child
- Be “high touch” and dispense liberal doses of encouragement
- Consider them temperaments
Give your children the three A’s
Attention
Affection
Affirmation
