This compassionate and insightful book contains helpful advice both for those dreaming of marriage and those whose marriages don’t live up to the dream. This is a hugely encouraging book which everyone contemplating marriage would do well to digest.

‘More couples than I can number have been surprised that their marriage needs the regular rescue of grace. And because they did not take their Bible seriously they were caught short in that moment when the rubber meets the road in daily life, where grace was their only hope…

‘So when you are sinned against or when the fallen world breaks your door down, don’t lash out or run away. Stand in all your weakness and confusion and say, ‘I am not alone. God is with me, and he is faithful, powerful and willing.’ You can be realistic and hopeful at the very same time. Realistic expectations are not about hope without honesty, and they are not about honesty without hope. Realism is found at the junction of unabashed honesty and uncompromising hope. God’s Word and God’s grace make both possible in your marriage.’
