Real Marriage: The Most Important Book on the Subject

Because it's rooted in the only infallible collection of books -- that's the Bible, for the theologically liberal out there -- and points to the one who created the institution.

I had a chance to pick up and dig through Real Marriage: The Truth about Sex, Friendship, & Life Together last weekend before the book hit shelves, while at the most unabashedly & creatively Jesus-centered conference I've ever attended.

I can't even begin to tell you how much the book has already blessed my marriage, and would like to emphatically encourage you to grab a $12 copy from The Resurgence.

I also picked up the Real Marriage DVD. A few close young married couples are going to join my wife and me and go through the 11-session study. After that, I hope to establish it in our church as the post-wedding study, hosted by various couples in the intimate and safe setting of their homes.

Most churches do well with pre-marital counseling, but rarely have anything pro-active established for the critical first few years of marriage.

I hope to change that at my fellowship and would ask you to pray if that is something you could do at yours as well. The DVD pack includes both a leader's and participant's guide, to help you through.
