Three Questions Every Husband Must Answer: Biblical Wisdom for Leading Your Marriage Well

What if the questions your wife asks every day are actually windows into her soul-and invitations to step into your God-given calling as a husband?

You know the questions. "What are we doing this weekend?" "Where is our marriage going?" "Why did this happen to us?" Perhaps you've dismissed them as simple queries requiring simple answers. But what if you're missing something profound? What if these three questions reveal your wife's deepest longings for security, purpose, and meaning? And what if God designed you specifically to answer them?

In this deeply personal and biblically rich exploration, Matthew Crawford pulls back the curtain on his own marriage journey-from comfortable ministry life to the mission field, through spectacular failures and unexpected grace. With the vulnerable honesty of a fellow struggler and the wisdom of a seasoned counselor, he reveals how every husband is called to three essential roles: Manager (creating security), Visionary (providing direction), and Teacher (offering meaning).

But here's the truth: You will fail at these roles. Crawford knows because he has. The question isn't whether you'll fall short-it's what you'll do when you do. Will you hide behind excuses? Retreat into passivity? Or will you discover how the gospel transforms failure into a pathway to deeper intimacy?

This isn't a book about perfecting your performance. It's about finding Christ in your weakness and becoming the husband He's calling you to be-starting with three simple questions.
