The Will of a Man & the Way of a Woman: Balancing & Blending Better Together

by Robert Crosby, Pamela Crosby

Overview

A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.
Genesis 2:24 NLT

An invitation to harness the magnetic draw of your differences and blend better with your spouse in life and love.

Where there's a WILL, there's a WAY. . .While a man possesses a unique God-given motivational propensity for exercising a strong will in life, a woman conversely possesses a unique God-given propensity for discerning the appropriate way of life. Through ups and downs, these magnetic tensions have helped husband and wife writing team, Robert and Pamela Crosby, learn to balance, bend, and blend in their marriage—to appreciate the balance their differences bring, to bend more appropriately in response to each other, and to move toward a more joyous blend that can only emerge out of two quite different ways somehow turned into one.

Simply put, where there’s a WILL, there’s a WAY.
