About Lessons Learned by a Patriot Husband and Dad:
The challenges faced by a military
husband and father are an enormous task. I
write this as a man who has failed in many of
the things that we will talk about in this book.
The short chapters in this book will hopefully
be thought provoking for you as you go
throughout your life and career. It is meant to
be an easy read and allow you refer back to as
you find yourself in some of these situations.
This is not a novel that will take a lot of your
time because hey, you don’t have a lot of time.
Ephesians 5:23-33 (NIV) says
23 For the husband is the head of the wife as
Christ is the head of the church, his body, of
which he is the Savior.
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also
wives should submit to their husbands in
everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ
loved the church and gave himself up for her
26 to make her holy, cleansing[a] her by the
washing with water through the word,
27 and to present her to himself as a radiant
church, without stain or wrinkle or any other
blemish, but holy and blameless.
28 In this same way, husbands ought to love
their wives as their own bodies. He who loves
his wife loves himself.
29 After all, no one ever hated their own body,
but they feed and care for their body, just as
Christ does the church—
30 for we are members of his body.
31 “For this reason a man will leave his father
and mother and be united to his wife, and the
two will become one flesh.”[b]
32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking
about Christ and the church.
33 However, each one of you also must love his
wife as he loves himself, and the wife must
respect her husband.
This will be the basis of the issues
where we, as men fail but would have saved me
a lot of heartache and failure if I had spent
more time as a young man understanding my
role.
