’It’s just not working. Our lives are full, but our marriage is empty.’Statements like this are becoming increasingly common among Christian couples today. Studies have shown that the rate of divorce is the same for both Christians and non-Christians, proving that often the Christian life makes little or no difference in martial satisfaction and longevity. Many Christian couples share a love for God but spend little time growing the love He has given them for each other. Making a Marriage addresses the issues faced by new as well as mature couples from a biblical point of view and offers the foundational principles that help build a strong and lasting relationship. Written by educators and licensed counselors, this valuable resource educates couples on the essentials of marriage so they can honor their lifelong vows, improve their relationships with their spouses, and counter our culture’s destructive influences. Whether you’re contemplating marriage, struggling with communication, stress, and intimacy issues, or just desiring to make a good marriage better, Making a Marriage will maximize your marital satisfaction and lay a strong foundation for the lifelong task of building a loving and lasting marriage.

Great Help For Couples Planning to Marry,
By Barbara Sheldon, M.S.W. (Solana Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making a Marriage: 7 Essentials for a Strong Relationship (Paperback)
This is a short book; I wished for a few more chapters. But this little volume packs a lot into its pages. Topics range from theology to very practical things. I especially enjoyed the chapters on building intimacy (Jim Pettitt) and the seven commitments of a marriage (David and Lisa Frisbie). Those chapters alone are worth the price of this book --- but every chapter is useful, helpful, well-written. Great book for pastors and marriage counselors --- excellent reading for couples planning to marry. Five stars! Barbara Sheldon, M.S.W. I also highly recommend: Happily Remarried: Making Decisions Together * Blending Families Successfully * Building a Love That Will Last
