Synopsis

It is my prayer that this book will assist couples in seeing their marriage from a divine perspective. Even though the book is written from a Christian biblical perspective, the principles and axioms it presents are applicable to all traditional marriages. Understanding that in spite of the brokenness we bring as individuals to our marriage, God's plan for marriage, in all its splendor, still unfolds as it should when we humble ourselves, submit to him, and stay obedient to his directives. When the couple places their marriage on the solid ground of God's Word, everything built upon that foundations has the strength to enjoy and endure the ebbs and flows of this life. We become unafraid of being transparent and enjoying the fullness of another person's love and care. We no longer settle for a fifty-fifty, meet-in-the-middle relationship. We give all-recognizing and accepting that from time to time, we and our spouse will fall short. In other words, we will need to be treated like and act as a neighbor.
