Product Description

A joyous summons to love (and like) your spouse for a lifetime.

Many people today are pessimistic about marriage. It's hard. It will end in divorce. If you marry, you exchange romance for responsibility. Yet research tells us the happiest people on the planet are those in healthy marriages.

Can marriage be great—not just for the rare few—but for you? After twenty-five years of marriage, Arlene Pellicane has stories and biblical wisdom to share. Full of real life that will make you laugh, Making Marriage Easier addresses common threats to our marriage—poor communication, tension over differences, lack of physical intimacy, parenting stress, and more.

Four key decisions will help you clarify your values and create a clear path forward. Each short chapter ends with life lessons, questions to ponder with your spouse or in a group, and prayers to strengthen and encourage. Marriage is part of God's awesome, wonderful plan. It's meant to be a celebration, not a life sentence.      

Whether you're holding a baby for the first time or figuring out retirement, this book is fresh kindling for a bettermarriage that can go the distance.
