EXEMPLARY HUSBAND

I am finding the content of the book to be wonderful and enlightening. I am finding the Kindle reader to be very restrictive and I wish there were some other electronic format. I am very much about a man being worth his wages, but I also expect to be able to use what I paid for. Exceeding a copy limit? And the "copy" that I did wasn't even useful. I guess I will have to resort to screen shots and OCR. This is silly!

Addresses many topics such as our relationship to God, our relationship to our wives, our responsibilities. Many scripture references used which is good.

This is the book I have been looking for. In my experience, MANY Christian marriage books are loaded with personal advice and nice-sounding but thinly-founded pragmatism. Many are full of personal stories and examples to the point of distraction. There is a certain place for such things, but even many of the best books require a lot of filtering to get to the real, biblical meat, it seems to me. And that is why I so appreciate this book by Stuart Scott. No filtering necessary. Just content.It's like a full, hearty, rich steak-and-potato meal in the midst of a buffet full of cheap cereals or something.I find the book very engaging, but not because it is entertaining. It is engaging because the content is pure gold and I long to be a better husband unto the Lord and for the sake of my lovely wife, so I eat it up eagerly.The entire focus is unpacking and applying what Scripture has to say about marriage from a husband's perspective. There are some personal anecdotes, but the vast majority is very keenly focused on the simple application of Scripture, which makes this book as timeless as the truths it is founded upon.It is very well-written, clear, and to the point, with very few frills. Lists of application points galore. Lots of very well-organized sections and sub-sections with clear headings, making it easy to navigate and understand. Personally, I have placed sticky notes on the sections where I know I have struggles. Beyond the first readthrough, I will certainly use this book as a reference point for personal edification for years to come because the material is so easy to find and so clearly and cleanly presented.This would be a fantastic book for a man preparing for marriage, but, because its focus is pretty much just Bible, it is also very, very good for ANY husband.Encouraging, convicting, applicational, compelling, and motivating, all without the frills or jokes. HIGHLY recommend for any man who wants to take his role as a husband seriously and serve the Lord by loving his wife very well.

An unbelievable wealth of wisdom and knowledge in this book by Stuart Scott. Beautifully rooted in scripture so that you know it's not just his opinion or interpretation, but you're able to have validating scripture behind Scott's words.

I have read a lot of secular and Christian books on marriage and this is the best one. It is biblically based and draws a beautiful picture of how to honor God in your marriage. If you live in your marriage the way God intended, it can be such a blessing and beautiful experience. I would say be cautious on books whose author's claim Christianity, but use human psychology models to approach marital problems. I have read a lot of these books and their approach can lead to worse results in your marriage. Marriage was created by God and he has a plan for how it should be lived out--that is laid out in this book.

Book was good for those who want to become a better husband. Also for those who are going to become husbands in the near future. Definately need to read it in bits and pieces and then think about what was read. For myself not going to be using everything that I read, but would still recommend the book nonetheless.

If you are a husband struggling to grow in loving and understanding your wife, then please read this book. It will give you biblical tools to implement in your own life while always keeping the focus on Christ and His Word.

And while you are at it, buy The Excellent Wife as a companion book for you. These two books will bless you both. If you like to study with a guide and answer questions to really make it sink in more, buy the study guides that go with them. You don't need them for the book, but I speak from doing the guide as well, and let me say, it's nice to do both. Buy these books for newlyweds, too! Tell them they will make wonderful reference books as they go through married life together. They're well written with Scripture from God's Word -- truth that is so greatly needed in our lives every day.

A wonderful book to read whether you’re engaged or married for 30 years!

The author has taken pain to first discuss on the foundations and then to go on to the applications. Not a book filled with jokes but truth. God bless the book !

This book is not an easy read!This is unapologetically a deeply Christian book, a deeply Christian read.I recommend The Exemplary Husband to any and every man even thinking of marriage, but would suggest that it should be compulsory for every man preparing for marriage; not only for the Christian but for the non-Christian, too. So much confusion, so many problems, so much heartache and sorrow could be avoided.

Wer der englischen Sprache einigermaßen mächtig ist und ein Kind Gottes ist sollte sich dieses Buch unbedingt "antun".Ein Buch voller fundamentaler biblischer Wahrheit über die Beziehung Gott - Mann - Frau.In einer Youtube-Predigt von Paul Washer wurde dieses Buch einmal erwähnt und ich habe es mir gleich bestellt - eine sehr gut Entscheidung.Dieses Buch hat mein männliches Denken über die Beziehung zu meiner Frau grundlegend geändert weil die Beziehung zu meiner Frau immer zuerst über den "Augenfilter" Gottes geht, d.h. ich muss zuallererst mein Frau mit den Augen Gottes sehen damit ich ein gesegneter Ehemann bin - umgekehrt gilt natürlich dasselbe.Absolut empfehlenswert und bereichernd, ja segnend.Kleiner Hinweis - am Ende des Buches gibt der Autor Empfehlungen (Finanzen, Alterversorgung, etc.) die sich nur bedingt für den europäischen Leser anwenden lassen was aber den Wert dieses Buches in meinen Augen überhaupt nicht schmälert.

My husband of 35 years marriage is acomplete changed husband.His relation with God and me! (wife).Thank You for this book.Life changing book!Blessings!
