Endorsements – Marriage Made in Heaven

I am privileged to give my endorsement to this resource in preparing couples for the most important relationship next to Jesus Christ. Pastors and marriage counselors, as well as couples who are serious about preparing for marriage, should purchase this book.

The questions many premarital books ask are surface level and don’t address these matters. This book is different. It asks the important questions that will truly help prepare couples for the challenges ahead. We also have found this book to be very useful for marriage counseling. We use it in our marriage ministry.

I had the honor of being the Family and Marriage Pastor here for 10 years before the change in my role to senior pastor. We used different resources for premarital counseling throughout the years and finally found yours. We love your book, and are happy to give it our endorsements.

Choosing Building Your Marriage Upon the Rock as our resource to prepare for marriage has definitely been a blessing to us. With this book, we were able to confirm that our beliefs were in alignment, work out some difficult situations, and work on minute details of our relationship that we would never have thought to talk about. The book asks some very difficult and sensitive questions in the most respectful way. It is definitely the best decision we’ve made for our marriage and for our marriage ministry.

I encourage every pastor or marriage counselor to investigate this premarital resource for yourself. It’s an effective and even time–saving tool. This premarital workbook is Bible based, loaded with scripture, and very thorough in its approach to helping couples prepare for marriage. I highly recommend Building Your Marriage Upon the Rock.

We can never assume a couple is approaching marriage from a biblical perspective. The world just has too much to say on this topic and most of it differs radically from God’s perspective. This even applies when both are Christians. Building Your Marriage Upon the Rock provides a thorough introduction to marriage, regardless of where a couple is beginning. It helps couples work through major issues immediately and alerts them to issues that will become more important later on.

Building Your Marriage Upon the Rock by Mike Williamson has my wholehearted endorsement. In all my years of premarital counseling, I find this is the most comprehensive biblical resource available for Christian couples seeking to lay a solid foundation for their marriage.

Doug Snow, Sr. Pastor
Calvary Chapel SE Portland, OR

Building Your Marriage Upon the Rock encourages discussion on real-life topics while providing answers through specific Bible verses. It goes much deeper than we expected and covers sensitive yet extremely important areas. We learned more about one another (and ourselves) by going through the book with our mentors than we did in the entire year we were dating prior to our engagement. We were truly blessed to have been introduced to this book and its creators, Mike and Jewel Williamson.

Every couple that I’ve taken through the workbook have really appreciated it. The book does a great job at sparking conversations and highlighting possible areas they need to address. I love the chapter on Covenant. I talk about covenant a lot in our sessions and make it prominent in every marriage ceremony. I highly recommend Building Your Marriage Upon the Rock.

Tim Smith Senior Pastor
Crossing Community Church Newtown, PA

We have used several premarital counseling books over the past few years. Unfortunately, none of them addressed some of the issues we are concerned about in premarital counseling. From the beginning, Building Your Marriage Upon the Rock gets into the nuts-and-bolts of marriage preparation. I especially appreciated the section on the Marriage Covenant. I highly recommend this workbook for premarital counseling.

Calvary Chapel Moreno Valley, CA

I thank God for such a wonderful resource that is full of the word of God and wisdom for marriage and premarital couples. I have nothing but great things to say about this book. We refer to it as a PhD in premarital classes. It is a must-do before marriage. In our church we will not marry couples if they don’t go through premarital preparation with this material. I have the privilege of being the pastor of the Spanish speaking congregation. Having access to this material is a great blessing for the Spanish community of believers.
