Parenting When Husband and Wife Disagree
September 15, 2009
By Glenda Anderson In a two-parent family, the father should be the disciplinarian and the mother the nurturer. That is God’s ideal.

Luke 1:38 Anderson's Applications: In a young woman's life there is no greater time of anticipation, excitement and joy than the few months before her marriage to the love of her life.
