Marriage Made in Heaven

Preparing for Marriage with
Building Your Marriage Upon the Rock

160 pages of vital questions, surveys, scripture, and comments makes this the most in-depth and thorough premarital workbook available.

Couples gain valuable insight into each others lives that they simply can’t get from other premarital books. Next to your relationship to God, your marriage will be your most consequential relationship–one that will affect, not just you, but many others. 

Contrary to current cultural views, your marriage is not only your business; it’s everybody’s business. How well (or poorly) you do marriage will affect many other people including parents, other relatives, friends, and, most importantly, your children if you have them and, therefore, future generation

In the big picture, your marriage is all of society’s business.
