Men are told to study two things, the Bible and their wives, why, both are difficult to interpret.

Dr. Tony Evans talks about how men can improve the emotional atmosphere of their homes.

The husband is the thermostat, she is the thermometer.

Don't expect some a wife if you bring home winter weather.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans.

Author, speaker, senior pastor of Oakcliffe Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas

and president of the Urban Alternative.

Some think it's next to impossible for men to truly understand their wives.

But Dr. Evans says, when you take your cues from the Bible, you can bring a little heaven into your home.

Let's join him as he explains.

The Bible is clear on how the family structure is to work.

Remember, the family is God's idea, not man's.

And in order for God's, listen to me, in order for God's idea to work, God's idea must work on his terms, not ours.

And so we want to look at the family as Paul explains to the church how heaven is to function in the home.

Wives be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord.

For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ also is head of the church, he himself being favor the body.

As the church is subject to Christ so also wise ought to be to their own husband in everything, three of the most hated verses in the Bible.

He starts off with the subjecting role of the wife.

Now, this is very important for one fundamental theological reason.

And that is, God functions in history high archaeally.

That is, in accordance with a chain of command.

Now, what you need to know, ladies, is that this chain of command is not related to essence or worth.
