THE BIBLICAL MARRIAGE: Biblical Counsel that Will Strengthen a Strong Marriage and Save a Failing Marriage

Across twenty-eight chapters, this book examines marriage as Jehovah’s gift and explains the responsibilities of husbands and wives. It addresses communication, financial decisions, compromise, affection, intimacy, and the practical work of solving problems together. Readers will find biblical counsel on stopping arguments, avoiding hurtful words, apologizing sincerely, ending punitive silence, and forgiving a spouse. Direct treatment of flirting, adultery, and pornography exposes conduct that threatens marital faithfulness. Concrete examples show how biblical principles apply to particular words, choices, and responsibilities within the home.

Written for newlyweds, established couples, and spouses confronting serious difficulties, this volume calls each reader to examine personal conduct before demanding change from the other. It distinguishes forgiveness from restored trust and sincere repentance from reassuring words. Its counsel supports truthful accountability, practical repair, and patient efforts toward reconciliation. It also recognizes that serious wrongdoing requires appropriate protection and cannot be resolved by concealing the facts. Each chapter challenges husbands and wives to turn biblical understanding into specific acts of love, honesty, respect, and fidelity.
