Point Man: How a Man Can Lead His Family (Revised & Updated Version) by Steve Farrar

 

Chapter 6 Husband and Wife Teamwork in the Marriage Cockpit

 

Teamwork within marriage…

  1. Mutual understanding of the Romo-Whitten Principle
  • Mutual accountability
  • Mutual submission
  •  

    Man as a poor understanding of authority when…

    • He lacks interest in his wife’s input and disregards her feelings
  • He forbids the children to discuss his decisions
  • He trusts few people
  • He displays an intense need to control those closest to him
  •  

    A mature man…

    • Loves his wife sacrificially
  • Loves his wife with understanding
  • Loves his wife with verbal praise
  • Encourages his wife to use her gifts
  •  

    One way that some men keep from being mutually accountable is through intimidation.

     

    Chapter 7 Restoring the Ancient Boundaries of Gender and Marriage

     

    A child’s sexuality is at the very core of his identity.

     

    In our culture, two things are being assumed…

    1. Gender is not fixed; it is fluid
  • Marriage is not restricted to one man and one woman…
  •  

    Genesis 1:27

    1. Our maleness and femaleness is an essential part of our humanity as God has created us
  • It is good to be male and it is good to be female - because in either case, we bear the image of God
  • We have neither the right nor the power to change the sex that God has given us because it is a part of his created order

    Chapter 8 How to Raise Masculine Sons and Feminine Daughters

     

    “Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.”  William Penn

     

    Ephesians 6:4 - Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

     

    How can a father embitter this children:

    • By overprotection
  • By favoritism
  • By discouragement
  • By forgetting that a child is growing up, has a right to ideas of his own, and the need not to be an exact copy of his father
  • By neglect
  • By bitter words and outright physical cruelty
  •  

    Fathers should raise their children with tenderness:

    • Listen to them and respect their feelings
  • If you have been wrong or too harsh, be man enough to confess and ask their forgiveness
  • Listen to the input your wife gives you about each child
  • Be “high touch” and dispense liberal doses of encouragement
  • Consider them temperaments
  •  

    Give your children the three A’s

    Attention

    Affection

    Affirmation
