description: The two authors of this book, Linda Grenz and Del Glover, say at the outset that they are ordinary Christians writing for ordinary Christians and ordinary congregations. So why has this book become a classic for couples about to marry, couples already married, and the congregations that support them? Because they approach the ordinary issues couples face in marriage from the life-experience perspectives of an Episcopal priest (Linda) and a former corporate executive (Del) who worked with people as they faced various family-related issues.They invite readers to use the book in ways that speak most directly to them and offer questions for the couple to discuss and others that engage a congregation. The book is interspersed with relevant quotes from scripture with probing questions for the individual to consider.Table of ContentsThe Sacrament of MarriageExtended FamiliesBeing with OthersLiving TogetherFighting FairMoney MattersSexual IntimacyThe Gift of ChildrenYes, No, Maybe, Why Bother (Marriage Preparation, Marriage Enrichment)The Journey Ahead
