When a Man Loves a Woman: Pursuing Her Heart

A lifelong marriage is rare in our day of fleeting relationships and broken families. But James Ford Jr. shows men that lasting love is possible by living according to God's Word and loving God's way.

Drawing from Scripture, Pastor Ford reflects on how one man, Jacob, loved his woman, and how Jacob's example teaches today's men these must-have romance skills:

• Meeting your wife's spiritual, emotional, and social needs
• Protecting and cherishing your wife
• Celebrating the God-given differences between you and your wife

Blessed with more than 40 years of marriage, Pastor Ford writes to all men—whether single, engaged, or married—who want to make their future or existing marriage as meaningful and satisfying as God intended it to be.
