Do you have a picture-perfect marriage all figured out in your head? Have you noticed how hard it is to translate the vision in your head to reality?
Dr. Gary Chapman (Five Love Languages author) shares the secret ingredient… true oneness. In his new book, The Marriage You’ve Always Wanted, he shares common sense ways to build true unity. He asks some big questions. Are you trying to change your spouse? Do you know what it means to really love someone? Do you feel ignored or even alone in your effort to improve your marriage? But don’t let those scare you. He also offers answers and action steps to help you figure it all out.
If you want to work through The Marriage You’ve Always Wanted with a small group or Sunday School class, be sure to check out the small group curriculum. You can also check them out on Facebook or Twitter.
