The Kind of Husband Every Wife Needs (2 of 4)
Family First
Stan Coffey
We are in a series of messages called ‘‘Family First’’. We began last week talking about the family, the importance of the family and having a Christian home, having a Christian family.

That unless we have the right kind of relationship with our wives, our prayers will not be heard from God. Our p ...
