Man Up, Kneel Down
Many Christian husbands know and affirm the apostle Paul's "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her" (Ephesians 5:25).
However, busy schedules, life's demands, and our own remaining sin join forces and plot against our good intentions to love and serve our wives. We may even find ourselves engaged in many fruitful ministry endeavors while the noble calling of coming alongside our beloved brides goes by the wayside.
Man Up Kneel Shepherding Your Wife Toward Greater Joy in Jesus is a street-level, biblically saturated, gospel-centered guide for guys who want to lead their families well by serving their wives. With accessible chapters, humor, application questions, and more, Man Up Kneel Down offers the Christian husband a guide to shepherd his wife with intentionality amidst the demands of life.

There is nothing particularly novel about this book, but it is full of great reminders and exhortations that I need. I like the short chapters with reflection questions. Could be a great resource to use in discipleship of other husbands.
I wish there was a stronger foundation developed of men and women’s roles in marriage (complimentarity) and not just assumed. This would have been something helpful to build off of.

This is a short book (155 pages), yet each chapter is thought-provoking, encouraging, and gospel-centered. The author does an excellent job identifying real struggles unique to husbands and how they can love and shepherd their wives better.
The book is divided into 13 chapters which include discussion questions and a short prayer prompt. The book also includes recommended reading on marriage, parenting, communication, grief support, intimacy, family worship, and leadership (many of them I've also read and would recommend).
Chapter headings:
🦦Protect her 🦦Counsel her 🦦Cherish her 🦦Hear her 🦦Lead her 🦦Love her 🦦Serve her 🦦Understand her 🦦Comfort her 🦦Strengthen her 🦦Watch her 🦦Delight her 🦦Prepare her
I love how the author is quick to point husbands to Jesus for their soul's needs before showing Jesus as an example. Before a husband can shepherd his wife, he must submit to the Chief Shepherd himself. This would make an excellent resource for marriage counseling, wedding gift, anniversary gift, and men's Bible study.
