IVP Books Just How Married Do You Want to Be? Practicing Oneness in Marriage
It was an unlikely match. Jim was a new believer and former male stripper; Sarah was a Ph.D. in theology. How did they come to understand - and practice - headship in their marriage? In a culture where gender roles are often misunderstood, the Sumners help you and your spouse develop "oneness," resolve conflict, define expectations, and more. Paperback.

Someone has needed to write a book that attempts to bring a diverse family of thinkers to a place of consensus, and Jim and Sarah Sumner are doing just that. They encourage us not to get stuck in bringing our "truth" out of a limited metaphor, but to see the mystery in God's purposes in "two becoming one." We need to seek Him and His glory in our marriages above all else. They further challenge us to apply scriptural principals to our relationships. They encourage us to share a vision for our marriages and use it as an anchor when we get off track. I also appreciate their willingness to be real about their shortcomings and help us all to realize that we need to take the mask off and become accountable to other couples with our shortcomings. I have done pre-marital and marital counseling for over 25 years and this book is changing my approach, and helping my marriage. I challenge you to read, and pray about what you read.

Review 2 for Just How Married Do You Want to Be? Practicing Oneness in Marriage

Alex Panos
This book presents a realistic view of Christian marriage and and is jam packed with advice about avoiding pitfalls in the marriage relationship. For that it is worth reading; however, I was not convinced by their definition of "headship." They did not give enough consideration to "context" in their exposition of Ephesians 5:23. Their understanding of headship as "metaphor" didn't make sense because they didn't clearly state what the meaning of the metaphor was especially in the context of Ephesians 5:21-33.
