Synopsis
Marriage is a sacred covenant instituted by God—but is your relationship built to last?
We live in a culture that often views marriage as a temporary trial or a path to quick, personal happiness. This perspective can lead couples to the altar with romantic dreams but without the practical wisdom or spiritual strength required to navigate a lifelong partnership.
Marriage by the Book is your essential guide to building a relationship that is not only joyful but also honors God. Drawing on over four decades of ministry and the author's own 40-year marriage, this comprehensive resource moves past shallow relationship tips and points you back to the unwavering, divine precepts found in Scripture.
This book will equip you, whether you are preparing for engagement, newly married, or seeking to strengthen your existing union, with the tools to handle the real-life pressures and common problems that can destroy a marriage.
Inside, you will find practical, biblical wisdom on:
- God's Divine Purpose for creation and the high calling of marriage.
- Understanding Biblical Love: Defining agape (sacrificial), phileo (friendship), and eros (physical) love within God’s design.
- Essential Skills: Practical advice for open communication and a step-by-step process for resolving conflict in a way that strengthens, not weakens, your bond.
- Intimacy and Family: Clear, careful biblical teaching on emotional, spiritual, and physical intimacy, as well as wisdom on parenting and managing extended family dynamics.
