Is it possible to be happily married today—or is marriage as we know it on the way out?
The writers in Make More of Your Marriage are convinced that marriage—though it may be changing—is here to stay. And they offer many positive and practical suggestions on how to improve it—how to be happy while married. They consider such provocative questions as:
• what causes most marriages to fail?
• what are the biblical standards for marriage?
• what place should traditional male and female roles have in a Christian marriage?
• how can marriage partners help each other discover their gifts and develop their potential?
• what can churches do to help members improve their marriages?
The chapters were originally prepared for the Continental Congress on
the Family. They have been edited for this volume by Gary Collins, who has also provided a study guide designed both for group discussion and to help church leaders rethink their ministry to marriage people in the church and the community.
