What You'll Find Inside

• A short, practical guide for real marriages. 12 clear, biblical principles that couples can actually put into practice together.

• Addresses spiritual drift, not just crisis. Written to strengthen marriages in any state of health: vibrant, routine, strained, or breaking.

• Strong emphasis on shared spiritual life. Praying together, Scripture, worship, and spiritual conversation as the backbone of intimacy.

• Concrete counsel for everyday life. Covers communication, kindness, friendship, sexual intimacy, parenting as a team, and mutual duties.

• Rooted in historic Reformed wisdom. Draws from Scripture, Puritan theology, and decades of pastoral and counseling experience.

• Ideal for couples at any stage. Fitting for engaged couples, newlyweds, or long-time spouses.
