Wally Goddard has created one of the best books ever written on marriage. The sub-title says 'Powerful principles with Eternal Results.' That says it all. You will love putting these principles into motion in your own marriage or see them work in the marriages and relationships of those closest to you. This book came from one of the most popular series ever written on Meridian Magazine on the first principles of marriage. Dr. Goddard writes: 'In striking the marriage bargain, we are unknowingly giving up the egocentrisms of childhood in favor of the charity of Godhood. We make a covenantal step toward unselfishness. As we progress in marriage we gain ennobles character as well as eternal companionship.'
