Grateful for an Unequaled Wife

I have been listening to the marriage conference held at Southern Seminary recently online at night with Emily and have been reminded that I, as a husband, have not been faithfully cherishing my wife as I ought. I was greatly challenged by C.J. Mahaney's message that stated the importance to have regular scheduled opportunities for uplifting your spouse and giving her a chance to get away from the mother personality for a short time.

Before going to seminary I talked with one person who had just graduated and I asked them what they thought.

I have had the privilege to learn the original languages of the Scripture along with courses on Church History and Systematic Theology. I have ta
