Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

Whats confusing? He basically held men's feet to the fire regarding how they treated their wives. His wife held women's feet to the fire regarding how they treated their husbands. She would even use the "S" word. You know (submission).

Just a man they use to prop up at our church in front of 300 men. Basically telling us how to love our wives and family sacrificially, how to be an encouragement to her. How the most important thing is not who gets their way but that the marriage is the most important thing. He wasn't interested in people being individuals (he said there are plenty of individuals out there). His priority is that the husband and wife were one. To some people it sounds like you lose your single identity. He would say "that's right".
