One of the most common crises among Christians today is the failure to develop and nourish godly relationships. Sadly, there is little or no distinction between Christians and non-Christians in this area. Most homes today resemble the drive-through window at a fast food joint with family members coming and going but with no real communication taking place. Beyond the home, the corporate church body is fragmented by members unable to agree on what are often minor issues.

For those tired of conforming to the worlds model for relationships, Bishop Eddie L. Long presents the biblical model. What a Man Wants, What a Woman Needs will enable you to:

  • Identify the missing element in relationships that will foster better communication.
  • Understand the key principles necessary for godly living and godly communication.
  • Learn to identify and resist attacks from the Enemy.
  • Understand the power of a wise woman and the roles of godly men.

    CONTENTS

    M arriage can be the closest thing to heaven or hell on this earth.

    Such honest observations and statements make Bishop Longs book What a Man Wants, What a Woman Needs a must-read.

    No platitudes here. No easy formula-driven solutionsonly a biblically based call to kingdom living.

    Bishop Longs thesisthe missing element in the kingdom of God is real kingdom men and real kingdom womenrelates to every Christian home.

    Calling men to be responsible is a timely message when many men have stepped down from their godly servant leadership roles in their homes. Calling women to become walking epistles is a message of hope for our worlds future.

    Fidelity, purity, servanthood, responsibility, covenant keeping, and rising beyond your failures are just some of the challenges issued by Bishop Long.

    Most important, Bishop Long calls on the kingdom, an army of prayer warriors, prophets, preachers, evangelists, pastors, and teachers anointed to work together, with no place for ego.

    Bishop Longs honesty and vulnerability make this book authentic and powerful.

    It is my joy to call Eddie L. Long my brother and friend. And it is my privilege to recommend his life-changing message to you.

    Chapter 1
    WHAT A MAN WANTS

    S ome things are just naturally interesting. As much as half of the worlds population at any given time in human history have thought about what a man wants. The response that immediately comes to mindthat a man wants sexis only a part of the answer.

    We could probably find a hundred different versions of this chapter title adorning the covers of the worlds magazines and tabloids every monthalong with ten times as many pop answers to the quiz. However, I wonder how many of the writers, researchers, and editors would turn to the ultimate Source for the right answer.

    Im convinced that most men long for something they would find nearly impossible to describe on their own. The truth is that we all need help defining our chief longings. We can assemble a certain amount of information on our own, but we need to go to the Original Equipment Manufacturers Manual to help us finish the job.

    Men dont ask for much (just ask one). With virtually no regard to his own appearance, manners, or attractiveness, every man secretly hopes for a woman whose beauty takes his breath away and jump-starts his heart at first sight.

    Of course, he also hopes she possesses a liberal dose of his mothers ways to care for the little boy lingering inside his hulking shell (and hidden far from view). Naturally, he also expects his ideal woman to be the worlds best lover, the best cook in town, his lifetime best friend, and his most loyal supporter all rolled into one neat package.

    Thats not asking for much, is it? The answer is yes and no. First, we must accept the inevitable reality check: Sir, no woman on earth has what it takes to totally fulfill you.

    God gives men and women just enough of Himself, just enough mystery, spice, or something nice, to make us take notice of one another. Yet at most, each of us possesses just a few pieces of the puzzle, and they will never be enough to satisfy. Why? God expects us to come home every day and linger in His presence.

    The core of every true desire and longing (before they get perverted or tainted by evil or magnified by our own foolish choices) is our deep hunger for our Creator. David the prophet, priest, and king said, As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God (Ps. 42:1).

    A KINGDOM MAN LOOKS FOR FAR MORE

    Second, what a man wants varies directly with the nature of the man doing the wanting. A kingdom man, whose mind, will, and appetites have been honed and realigned by the Word of God, will look for far more in a potential wife than will a man of the flesh and the unsaved world.

    Our culture leaves very little for the imagination to work on when it comes to what a worldly man wants. Basically, it boils down to sex and control. If it sounds animalistic, thats because it is.

    Yet even an animalistic, worldly man cant help responding when he comes across a kingdom member of the other half who lives and walks according to Gods plan. As far as I can tell, everyone sits up and takes notice when a kingdom woman walks into a room. There is something about a godly woman that makes you want to put a capital W in front of the word Woman.

    Now, I dont want anyone to think a kingdom man is hormonally dead. If a man is living as he should in the sight of God, his hormonal balance is better than most. He just refuses to let hormones drive his car. He has a much longer and more important want list than the single-page cheat sheet most men carry the one titled Sexual Attraction.

    HE WANTS A KINGDOM WOMAN

    Perhaps we should rephrase the question driving this chapter to read: What does a kingdom man want? That automatically provides the answer: He wants a kingdom woman.

    If you want to know what a kingdom woman is, you have to talk with the King. Fortunately, He has a lot to say about the women in His kingdom. In fact, He put it right up front where all the action began.

    You dont have to be a Bible scholar or college graduate to gather from the book of Genesis that when God made man, He went to the dirt (Gen. 2:7). Adams sons are still a little dusty and funkyespecially when theyve been working in the noonday sun or doing physical labor. The modern models come in all colors, sizes, and shapes, but all of them still have Adams earthy ability to be downright nasty to those with more refined tastes and fresher deodorant.

    Now God didnt use dirt to make the first woman. He had a
