"Building Your Marriage" is a great study guide for couples in a group, or as an individual couples study. The study helps you understand what marriage is all about before or after you've taken the plunge. The study guide is built on the marriage principles in the Bible from a Christian point of view. It challenges your Christian walk as an individual and as a married couple. It provokes deep communication between the couple. It can save a marriage, and it can prepare a couple for marriage.
