Book Description
Dale and Jena Forehand know personally the anguish of a shattered marriage -- the fights and sulking silences escalating to a courtroom battle, with confused children caught in between. By the time their divorce was final, Dale and Jena had lost a combined 40 pounds and felt no relief in their separation. The Forehands also know the power of grace when all seems lost. Against all odds and to the shock of their friends, the Forehands moved past the bitterness, fell more deeply in love than ever, and remarried. They now lead marriage seminars before thousands around the country, revealing how God can use the broken pieces of a shattered marriage to create a work of art -- a stained glass marriage. The Forehands freely share personal examples to illustrate principles that must be practiced in every healthy -- and restored -- marriage, including emotional safety, fulfilling the distinctive needs of a husband or wife, showing mercy, and loving selflessly.

Book Description
God’s Dream for Marriage Can Be Reality! Who still treasures God’s dream for marriage? The institution of marriage has been assaulted with a vengeance, bringing high divorce rates, widespread cohabitation, and a sharp decline in esteem for traditional marriage; but a ray of hope burns steady and bright. By returning to God’s original intent for marriage, we can overcome all of this world’s attacks against it. One Marriage Under God, by bestselling author and educator Dr. H. Norman Wright, unfolds in a fresh way what God’s dream for our marriages really involves, and how to recover it—for good. Couples find hope, healing, and new joy in their God-ordained union. What’s It Like Being Married to Me? Stepping into someone else’s shoes never fails to bring fresh insight. Ever tried on God’s? Bestselling author and educator H. Norman Wright cuts through the cultural confusion and clarifies the institution of marriage as God originally created it—a beautiful, committed, eternal bond. A bond that leaves only one option for anyone who’s ever said I do: Make it work, no matter what. But how? Wright considers the temptations and struggles facing today’s couples and offers practical, proven guidance steeped in God’s Word. You and your spouse will discover how to answer the call to be one, meet the challenge to love, and rise to the occasion of sharing your story with others. One Marriage Under God will help you see things from God’s perspective. It’s the best thing you will ever do for your marriage. Become a Marriage Keeper Popular culture attacks it and your own doubts can plague it, but God’s original intent for marriage will forever remain. You can honor Him by choosing to preserve, honor, and nurture your own marriage as well as the marriages around you. God is calling forth Marriage Keepers to make a difference in society today. One Marriage Under God explores thought-provoking insights: • Whether you married the “right” or “wrong” person is entirely up to you. • God has a good plan for every marriage. • Your marriage needs to be recreated daily. • Culture’s alternatives to marriage are destructive; God’s plan is flawless. Your marriage won’t wait. Begin to build up today what God first brought together. Story Behind the Book “I have a real connection with this book. I even processed ideas and chapters while I was bass fishing! While that was scary, my hope is that it will disturb readers in a positive way, providing the hope that marriage really can be richly fulfilling. This book is different from the rest because each reader will discover the benefits of marriage done God’s way, be challenged to recreate their marriage according to Scripture, be motivated to apply several marriage change princples, be provided with skills to become a Marriage Keeper, and to take posititve steps to reverse our culture’s trends toward divorce and living together.” —H.

See-Through Marriage

Pages : 176
Book Description
Marriage is all about sharing: sharing space, sharing joys and sorrows, sharing hopes and dreams. Yet we often hold back a part of ourselves because we fear that being wholly transparent--about our past, our desires, our failures, our faults--will bring judgment, rejection, or even just unwanted friction to our relationship. We are afraid to be fully known. As a result, we never experience being fully loved. Fierce Marriage authors Ryan and Selena Frederick think your marriage deserves better. In this new, paradigm-shifting book, they show you how to develop a see-through marriage, one that is marked by full transparency and confident vulnerability. Through personal stories, testimonies from other couples, and biblical truth, they make the case that living authentically in front of each other is the only way to experience love the way we were designed to. If you desire an honest, no-holding-back marriage where you are fully known, fully accepted, and fully loved, you need this book.

Last year we renewed our vows and are starting on the next 25 years! Gary and Dayle, Fort Worth My so call life as I knew it had completely crumbled from underneath me in an instant. I was broken. I was dead inside. I was lost. I was scared. My brother took me to Dr. B. I couldn't even drive! I didn't want to go. I thought it would be a waste of time. That was until I had my first session, then my second, then my third. The pain and the turmoil that I was feeling was suddenly being churned and kneaded to the point where it was slowly subsiding.

He told us you don't have to be a genius to turn your relationships around. We're not, but we did!

Our marriage and family life have never been better. Even our kids have noticed that we actually love each other and enjoy family nights again! Jose and Maria, Dallas
