These two shall become one! The Will & The Way principle does more than help us understand marriage; as husbands and wives, it helps us understand ourselves and how to take major steps in the journey toward oneness!

The Crosbys offer us handles and roadmaps to understand men and women, especially in a world that lacks clarity. Doubtless, the genders share equality, but they also share diversity. This book helps us all understand how males and females both magnetically draw and repel each other and how to leverage that magnetism brilliantly. I recommend this book.

Robert and Pamela Crosby do not mince words in getting to the heart of what it means to grow a successful marriage. They blend personal illustrations, reality, and wise practice. They pull no punches! The Will of a Man & the Way of a Woman is an invitation to a relational oneness through understanding, practice, and enjoyment.

Whether you are married for a short time or have years to reflect upon, Robert and Pamela bring a needed conversation to the forefront of marriage today in their book, The Will of a Man & the Way of a Woman. Both come to this topic with 30 years of marriage and many years of speaking to couples and engaging with the next generation of couples who are college students. The idea of our marriage relationship drawing us together and then pulling us apart based on how a husband and a wife function in marriage is a gift to be understood, not a force to wrestle with. I am impressed, motivated, and drawn to the way that Robert and Pamela share openly from their lives and clarify throughout the book how men and women are different by design emotionally and spiritually and how we can pinpoint while valuing the others approach and come out better as a couple. It is a book Ill recommend for years to come to new and established married couples.
