Love your wives as Christ loved the church - that biblical standard for husbands couldn't be higher. How can you ever hope to reach it? Well, the first step is making sure you know what the Bible means by love.

Best-selling author, Steven Covey, had said that to achieve success we need to put first things first. That's also a vital principle for successful marriages. Husbands especially need to put their time and energy into what's most important. So, what is that?

In Betty Friedan's 1963 bestseller, The Feminine Mystique, a wife complained that little in her daily routine was necessary or important. Some women today may feel the same way - that their contributions have no value in the home.

John MacArthur continues his most popular study, "The Fulfilled Family," and focuses on the woman's role in the home helping you whether you're a wife or a husband embrace what Scripture says about a woman's highest calling.

Can moms and dads share the financial burden, housekeeping responsibilities and spend more equal time caring for their kids? Does everybody win in this situation? Is that family model a biblical one?

It's no secret that good marriages and families don't just happen. But many of the attitudes God calls Christian wives to adopt for a healthy family the world calls old fashioned.
