The Exemplary Husband: A Biblical Perspective
God ordained marriage between a man and a woman for companionship, procreation, and so man would have a helper suitable. However, God says much more in the Bible about husbands loving their wives than He says about wives submitting to their husbands. He created marriage to be a picture of the relationship between Christ and the Church. Christ was willing to sacrifice His l...more

For any man who is interested in truth, you should start with the Word of God itself, then to help aid you in the things of the Lord concerning your marriage and biblical responsibility as a husband, this book is a must read. As some have said it may be that you already know this, but, the pointed and clear reminders in this book make it very worth the time to read. It clearly uses scripture to point to the truth and forces you to think clearly and fully as to yourself, and your behaviors to you...more
The Exemplary Husband did a reasonable job of assembling scriptures and topics together under the themes of marriage, responsibility, and Christ-likeness. At times, I felt that this book was very dry and impersonal. Stuart Scott was very direct in his writing -- to the extreme of having several bulleted sections in each chapter to organize his thoughts. It wasn't so much the directness that I minded, but his approach lacked in ability to converse with the reader. However, every few chapters he w...more
This book is probably one of the most beneficial books I've read in a while. As a person aspiring to be an exemplary husband to my future wife, this book convicted me many times as well as taught me. I knew that there was a lot that I needed to change in order to be a godly husband but MAN this book showed me that I am nowhere close to where I need to be. By God's grace, I'll get there in due time. Parts 3 (A Husband's Resolves) & 4 (A Husband's Regrets) in the book were probably the most be...more
A book for men young, old, single or married. Great for helping men better understand their identity in Christ as godly men.
Helpful for men struggling with their Christian responsibilites as a husband, and even a good reminder for those who aren't. The chapter on pride was especially convicting. There are things he mentions in his list of hidden pride that will cause any man (or woman)to cringe.
Very applicable and readable. Use it a lot as a reference. Guys, this book should be in your library!
Excellent. I highly recommend this book to any Christian husband, or husband to be.

I heard it is a good book we will see. A couple chapters in.
I thought that this was a great book.
Great book, long and dry at times but worth the read.
what a book!! even though i am not married it is very helpful to learn how to begin treating your wife in a God honoring and glorifying way! and it's really incredible how much of it I as young man can apply this to how I treat my mother!! highly recommended read! and now it will make me create a re-read book shelf
