About this book
How to keep your marriage together when the trials of life threaten to rip it apart.
It's not a question of if your marriage will face trials. It's a question of when. Illness or injury. Job loss or financial burdens. Addiction. Anxiety. Infidelity. Loss of faith.
Whether you've been married for five months or fifty years, it's within you and your spouse's power to ensure your marriage is prepared for those seasons and situations—a place of refuge and safety for both of you.
In Making Your Marriage a Fortress, Gary Thomas, bestselling author of Sacred Marriage, guides you and your spouse in how to fortify your marriage ahead of time, so that it can withstand any storm or difficult season. You'll:
- Discover helpful and practical principles to strengthen your marriage.
- Learn to detect the warning signs of trouble and how to act on them together.
- Understand how the present state of your marriage—good or bad—is magnified during a crisis.
- Gain spiritual insight about God's view of marriage and how to live it out in all circumstances.
Every marriage will face setbacks and seasons of disappointment, but this book will help you keep your marriage strong. . .for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, till death do you part.
