God-honoring marriages just don't happen. They are built over time based on the truths God has given to us in His Word. When we honor God's desire for a godly marriage, then we can expect love, peace, and a home where Christ is exalted. Over the course of my ministry, I have seen patterns with the couples I have worked with (and in my marriage) that contribute to disruption. Usually, this is caused by the baggage that is brought into the marriage or sinful patterns that were developed early in the marriage. If a couple can see the main stress points of their marriage, they can develop a Biblical game plan to strengthen their relationship and overcome their weaknesses. The six main areas that seem to contribute significantly to a healthy marriage are seen in the following 'building blocks': Dialogue Trust vs. Suspicion Intimacy Domestic Structure Spiritual Maturity Stewardship These building blocks are foundational to any marriage. The engaged couple needs to understand them and see where they are lacking, the newlywed couple needs to continue to develop an early marriage strategy for implementing them, and the seasoned couple needs to reexamine them consistently to ensure they're all being implemented through the seasons of life. This book can be used as a counseling resource, for small group studies, for couples looking to strengthen their marriage, and anyone interested in seeing how a marriage can be transformed by God's principles.
