The Will of a Man & The Way of a Woman
Balancing & Blending Better Together
“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.
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.
- Discover how a man possesses a unique God-given propensity for exercising a strong will in life.
- Experience insights that show how a woman possesses a unique God-given propensity for discerning the appropriate way or ways in life.
- Gain a fresh understanding of God’s interactions with men and women in the Bible and how even the way God chose to speak to them in the Bible reveals his understanding of their make-up.
- Have a deeper understanding of the significance of three vital words that help make a marriage strong: balance, bend, and blend.
- See how the things women want most in their relationship with a man are security and partnership; and because of this, they often struggle with their expectations.
- Understand how what men want most in their relationship with a woman is respect, honor, and admiration: thus, they often struggle with their egos.

Robert and Pamela Crosby do not mince words in getting to the heart of what it means to grow a successful marriage. They blend personal illustrations, reality and wise practice. They pull no punches! The Will of a Man and The Way of a Woman is an invitation to a “relational oneness” through understanding, practice, and enjoyment. This book is for every counselor, educator, church leader, and married man and woman.

The Crosbys offer us handles and roadmaps to understand men and women, especially in a world that lacks clarity. Doubtless, the genders share equality, but they also share diversity. This book helps us all understand how males and females both magnetically draw and repel each other, and how to leverage that magnetism brilliantly. I recommend this book.
