Helping homeschool marriages

There are many good Christian books on marriage, and A Sacred Foundation takes its place among them. The authors share an alternating discussion of his needs and her needs. The wife needs her husband's leadership, gentleness, compassion, protection, provision, praise and support. The husband needs his wife's allegiance, affection, beauty, companionship, and mature love. While this is true in all marriages (particularly for those who desire to follow Christ), these needs effect the homeschool marriage even more. Homeschooling is a worthwhile, dedicated, challenging, and exhausting commitment. The marriage relationship is vital to it's survival, but can too easily be back-burnered with the demands of the life style. This book is a great guide and help for both successful and hurting marriages, as parents team up to provide a home education for their children.
