Based on a national survey of more than 2,000 men and women, Arterburn reveals the seven behaviors that most commonly kill marriages and the seven positive actions that build great marriages.
There are things that bind a couple together—like forgiveness, humor, and trust—and things that break their connection, such as grudges, power struggles, and unrealistic expectations. This book clearly lays out the blueprint for a successful marriage, informing readers of 7 things they must stop, 7 things they must start, and why 7 minutes of guided devotions and prayer can make such a difference.
Research has shown that if couples spend devotional time together at least 4 times a week, they will have a stronger marriage that can last the test of time. Best-selling author Stephen Arterburn guides husbands and wives to strengthen their connection with each other and with the One who bound their hearts together.
