We Above Me: Understanding the Biblical Link Between Love and Needs for a Unified Marriage

Watching my parents’ marriage crumble before my eyes, I assumed failed relationships were the norm. Cheri was always looking for other people’s approval, and when she didn’t receive it, her self confidence plummeted. Allowing her circumstances to dictate her happiness led her to believe that happiness was something she couldn’t find. We have lived through Godless marriages and have experienced first hand the devastation of broken relationships. We were married in 2005, when two broken families became one by the grace of God.

A majority of people today have no hope in “happily ever after” when it comes to marriage. Although they want to find that person, past experience and historical statistics don’t inspire confidence. With more than 50% of marriages ending in divorce, and children growing up in broken families, is it any wonder that people have no faith in the institution of marriage?

But there is hope!

God created a man and a woman to be unified in holy matrimony, and His Word - the Bible, has many things to say about how a couple can find “happily ever after” and have a joy-filled, thriving marriage. Inside you will find the foundational guidance to successful marriage and a triumphant relationship with your spouse.
