Publisher's Synopsis
The cause of most separation and divorce is a lack of knowledge of how to be married the way God intended. We are not taught how to be married and as a result of not being taught you learn to follow the good examples and try to avoid the bad examples of your parents, television and movies. Unfortunately, our parents were not properly taught either and television and movies purposely give the wrong examples for the drama and entertainment. Even though the church tries its best, most of the sermons are directed on providing biblical information but we are not given practical examples of how to do what we have just been taught which leaves you and your spouse "playing it by ear" of what is right or wrong. Most arguments you have are the result of you or your spouse wanting something from the other and not getting it. You either want your spouse to do something he or she is not doing or to stop doing something he or she is doing. We have been taught by bad examples to use our anger or withdraw and use silence to try to get from our spouse what we want. That is not God's way. The Bible tells us that we are to be living our lives here the way it is in heaven. We have not been taught how to do that or what that looks like. We have not been taught what to do when what you believe to be true does not match your spouse's belief of what is true and the two of you argue over your perceived truth. Many arguments are over trying to prove "I am right and you are wrong." What I have done in the writing of this book is showing couples "how to do" the word of God in marriage. In other words, what does God have to say about what you or your spouse believes to be true and what to do when you have opposite perceptions of what is right or wrong. What does God have to say about the time you or your spouse are on social media, your friends, family, your priorities, in-laws, submission to each other, sexual problems and other issues that come up in marriage. What to do when you keep having the same old conversation over and over with no resolution. What to do when your spouse is nagging you or voicing a complaint over and over. We are not taught "why" we keep having the same issue in life that keeps recurring. Through your reading of this book and putting into practice what you have learned, you can turn your marriage around from the hell you are currently experiencing into the heaven God has intended you to have with your husband or wife. It is not simply "knowing" God's word, it knowing how to "do" God's word in your marriage.
