In Understanding Your Husband, author Brother Frederick Ezeji-Okoye takes on the difficult job of explaining a key principle to a strong, godly marriage—the partnership between the wife and the husband. Brother Ezeji-Okoye provides clarity and guidance to the role of the wife as helper, submitting to the husband’s headship. With scripture, personal experience, and examples in daily life, the author shows the strength and virtue in the unity of wife and husband, each embracing their different role as ordained by God. The author makes clear that submitting to her husband does not mean she is inferior or a secondary person, but instead, she is a co-laborer who is equal but with a role different than that of her husband. In his popular book, Not without a Head, the author discusses the role of the man in marriage and how embracing his headship role—the leader of the family—creates strong, virtuous marriages. As a companion book, Understanding Your Husband finishes the picture of a stable, godly marriage based on a deep, truthful understanding for the woman’s role as well. Two become one in their roles, as God designed.

There is an insidious epidemic that has swept around the world. This disease is the absence of the father in our households. It is not a virus but just as debilitating and deadly, perhaps more so, and the source of many of the tribulations our societies are enduring. The father, or head, is the keystone of our family units. God intended specific roles and responsibilities for his children and created man to assume the lead position within the family unit. Where the head is missing, dysfunction, sin, and sorrow are free to fill the void. The effects are generational and have far-reaching implications. Not Without the Head explores the core issues surrounding the absence of fathers in society. Bro. Fredrick Ezeji-Okoye has written an insightful and educational guide to help us understand both the physical and emotional effects the absence of fathers causes in our families. The author tells of his own experiences and shares the testimony of others with firsthand knowledge of the subject. Not Without the Head includes pertinent Biblical references and support of the author’s perspective and advice.
