BOOK BLURB:
Marriage is an institution established by God. God ordains a man and a woman to be husband and wife to fulfill his purpose of expanding His likeness and kingdom through their rule and dominion over His creation. Within the institution of marriage, the man is responsible for carrying out and communicating God’s vision. The woman enables, strengthens and encourages her husband to carry out God’s vision for himself, the marriage and family. The husband and wife become one flesh. No other human relationship, including that of parents and children, is to have priority or greater importance than that of the husband and wife to one another. The Leadership roles of the husband and wife are paramount to God’s plan of blessings in the marriage, family, generations and broader society. Therefore, obedience to God and His word establishes God’s order and facilitates the proper working and functioning of the marriage and family. Thus, establishing the peace, joy and increase the Lord has purposed in and through the marriage and family.

My Review
PRAYER, MARRIAGE AND THE LEADERSHIP ROLES OF THE HUSBAND AND WIFE was in my mind a very sexist book as it stated that the role of the woman was to support her husband in following God's vision. I personally see no reason why a woman should not be allowed to follow God's vision for herself. I also did not like the implication that the most important relationship had to me that of man and wife as other relationships can be just as important if not more important like that of a parent and their child. The author was well spoken, but I did not agree with his beliefs towards marriage. That aside I would give this book four out of five stars because while I personally disagree with it due to my own feelings, that does not make it a bad book.
