About the book

Many Christian husbands know and affirm the apostle Paul’s command: “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her” (Ephesians 5:25).

However, busy schedules, life’s demands, and our own remaining sin join forces and plot against our good intentions to love and serve our wives. We may even find ourselves engaged in many fruitful ministry endeavors while the noble calling of coming alongside our beloved brides goes by the wayside.

Man Up Kneel Down: Shepherding Your Wife Toward Greater Joy in Jesus is a street-level, biblically saturated, gospel-centered guide for guys who want to lead their families well by serving their wives. With accessible chapters, humor, application questions, and more, Man Up Kneel Down offers the Christian husband a guide to shepherd his wife with intentionality amidst the demands of life.

Aaron does a phenomenal job directing his readers to keep Christ at the center of their marriage to truly experience the fullness that God intended marriage to be. He does not waver in his pursuit to call men to the role that God has graciously bestowed on them to lead and shepherd their wives. With practical situations and questions to help and encourage young and old husbands to a deeper intimacy with their wife this book is a perfect primer for anyone either to be married or married for years.

Gospel hope for sinners like you and me

April 30, 2021

I am so thankful for Aaron's timely and wise counsel provided by this book. Marriage can be difficult because of MY SIN. This book captures the gospel message of repentance and redemption that leads to practical, applicable, and godly help to husbands like me. I am so thankful for men like Aaron who are writing good expositions of Scripture that address our gospel need in all areas of life, like marriage and family. This book is worth the price and worth passing along to other husbands as well.

Pithy, practical, and wise

Pastor Aaron's gospel-centric charge gives hope along with fuel for living out the challenging call of Ephesians 5:25. Engaged and married men would benefit from carefully reading this book. The way J. Aaron White applies the Bible is pithy, practical, and wise.

A book every husband should read.

I was married in 1985. If the church that married us had given me this type of straight forward, Biblically correct guidance, I can not help but think my marriage would have been much better. Many problems in my marriage were due to a lack of spiritual leadership from me as well as my pridefulness. Both of my daughters are engaged to be married. I have already asked both of the men involved to read this book prior to moving forward with the weddings.
I look forward to the rest of my time married to my wife and I will honor God while I man up and kneel down.
