What makes some marriages last fifty years while others lose their way? When the dopamine-like chemistry of first love fades, and your partner’s faults are revealed, how do you learn to navigate this new landscape?

Unfulfilled expectations—especially about the nature of love—often undermine relationships. Many people believe romantic love exists primarily to meet their needs. In truth, love is sacrificial, not manipulative, and is capable of respectfully accepting another person’s “no.”

For those contemplating marriage, the second half of this book explores how to know who to marry and the principles that help us discern God’s leading.

By understanding the principles of love presented here, you can learn to adjust your expectations to the practical reality of daily life with a partner who is different from you—and experience the beautiful oneness God has always intended for marriage. This 64-page, 8.5″ by 11″ study/workbook helps you process your marriage relationship from God’s perspective of love. It is perfect for engaged couples to work through together.
