What Every Husband Needs to Love His Wife: The Essentials and Rewards

By Dr. Darrell Rose

Love is more than words, feelings, or good intentions - it's what you're made of.

When you pick up a can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup, the label tells you exactly what's inside. As a retired Executive Hotel Chef, Dr. Darrell Rose understands that what goes into a recipe determines the nourishment it provides. The same is true in marriage. Many husbands think they are loving well - but too often, they're offering cheap substitutes instead of the real thing.

Words without action. Provision without affection. Leadership without humility.

They may look like love, but they can't sustain a marriage.

In The Ingredients of True Love, Dr. Rose invites husbands to rediscover God's divine recipe for authentic, lasting love - the kind described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. This is not love by the world's standard, but by Christ's example: patient, kind, humble, forgiving, and enduring.

In this transformative guide, you'll learn to:

• Understand the essentials of biblical love - wisdom, sacrifice, humility, mercy, and patience.
• Rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to love beyond your natural ability.
• Experience the spiritual, personal, and relational rewards of loving your wife God's way.
• Build a marriage that reflects Christ's heart, character, and compassion.

Each page helps you examine your own "ingredients" - what you bring into your marriage - and invites God to transform them into something beautiful. Because true love isn't about perfection; it's about becoming more like Christ.

Whether your marriage feels strong or strained, God can supply what's missing. Through His Word and Spirit, He can help you love your wife in a way that brings joy to her heart, glory to His name, and peace to your soul.

Just as a bowl of warm soup nourishes the body, Christlike love nourishes the soul - bringing warmth, strength, and healing to your marriage.
