Yes, in a way I do. The Bible does not, by itself, teach you everything you need to know about being a spouse or a parent. It does not teach you everything you need to know about HOW to put up with the one person in the group who ruins things for everyone else.
Like “complete” the word “need” has slight differences in meaning for different applications or contexts.
It gets my attention that people mostly tall about prayer as though it were nothing but us telling God stuff. But that may not be all it is. And people respond to Monsignor Pope’s article as though he were saying that one sort of prayer was more likely to be heard than another.
I don’t know what he thinks, but I doubt he thinks that God is hard of hearing.
Tell you what: if you don’t think a book on prayer would help you in any way, don’t read it.
Yes, it does teach you everything you NEED to know.
What it doesn't tell you is all the answers to the want to know questions.
And much of what is needed to know about being a good spouse is not labeled under the heading of *spouse*. There are things that make a good spouse that are covered in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles that are part of the *one another's*.
And of course, Proverbs is a treasure house of stuff for getting along with people.
