This segment is filled with tons of Pastor Lewis Tucker’s marital nuggets of wisdom. Here are just a few:
- The world would be a better place if every husband treated his wife like the queen she was meant to be
- If we all focused less on our careers and more on each other. If we were more concerned about our families than our portfolios… our kids would be happier, well adjusted, and our marriages would last.

- If husbands never stop dating their wives, they will always have a wife and a girlfriend
