By giving the irony of intimacy a chance, your marriage can be transformed. --Jim Daly, President, Focus on the FamilyMy wife and I both came from difficult family backgrounds. After marriage, we determined to no longer accept broken relationships, dysfunction, and infidelity; instead, we made a covenant to become the first generational legacy builders, starting with a strong, faith-based relationship that would set the tone for our children.The Friesens not only modeled the level of commitment and faithfulness it was going to take for us to keep our covenant, but they also displayed the fruit that comes from faithfulness to God's plan for marriage. Much of what we have seen and learned from them since 2003 is instilled inThe Marriage App: Unlocking the Irony of Intimacy.We are confident that the truths from scripture shared in these pages will instruct you and encourage you as well. --Don Davis, veteran NFL player, New England Patriots Super Bowl Champion, Director of NFL Programs for Pro Athletes OutreachPeople want to love and to be loved. Why should something so simple be so difficult? Drs. Paul and Virginia Friesen brilliantly unpack how getting the love we want in marriage will never come from believing the myth "To your own self be true." With characteristic wisdom, wit, and insight, they reveal that the love we hunger for can only be found by encountering Christ's love for us and following His example of sacrificial love that puts the needs of others ahead of our own. This is a brilliant, insightful book on marriage by two of our leading authorities in the area of family ministry. I cannot recommend it more highly. --Rebecca Manley Pippert, speaker, evangelist, and author ofOut of the Saltshaker
