Marriage: Real People, Real Problems, Real Solutions

This resource contains the stories of married couples who are willing to pray, learn and grow; develop positive, biblical and godly attitudes; discover how to speak their spouse's love language, and celebrate differences. (Relationships)
Marriage is not a relationship of convenience; it is a life long commitment to your spouse. Like every journey, marriage has its highs and lows and each marriage is unique: no two couples travel down the same road. Good marriages don't just happen. The couples in exceptional marriages are willing to pray, learn and grow, develop a positive, biblical and godly attitude, discover how to speak their spouse's love language and celebrate differences. This book contains true-life experiences. All stories are true, no matter how unbelievable they may seem, though names and some other details have been changed in order to protect the identities of the couples. Please read this book prayerfully; learn from the experiences of these men and women who give heed to my comments at the end of each account. You need not go through all that they have. Your story will be different!
