Marriage links for the week  

Toni has some thoughts about what it means to be in submission to one's husband as the church is to Christ.

Donald Sensing offers some sobering statistics about modern men's attitudes toward marriage. In another post, he quotes Michael Williams, who says of marriage in general, "Most men don't strive to be worthy of submission, and most women don't strive to be worthy of dying for."

Irene writes about waiting for the right man to come along.
