Marriage that Works

God's Prescription for a Great Marriage
Everyone wants to experience a great marriage that lasts. The most effective and satisfying way to achieve that worthy goal is by consulting the One who created marriage in the first place. With compassion, transparency, and engaging storytelling, author and pastor Chip Ingram unpacks what marriage really is, why God created marriage, and the unique roles both a man and a woman play in their marriage.
A marriage that works, says Ingram, is more wonderful than you thought possible and harder than you imagined--but it's worth the work. You'll learn the power of making a covenant with your spouse and fulfilling your design in an atmosphere of respect. The result? The spiritual, psychological, emotional, and physical oneness you were designed to have with one another.
