A Guide for Growing Your Ministry Marriage into All God Wants it to Be

God did a miracle on your wedding day when he united you as husband and wife. God intends for that to be just the starting point of a journey into a full "oneness," which will thrill you and powerfully unleash his gospel.

Sadly, most marriages stop far short of God's dream for them. Together with Family was written to help marriages, especially ministry marriages, grow and thrive. It will assist you in defining the current level of your marriage. It also offers five essential marriage habits and how to cultivate them so that your marriage can advance to the "oneness" of a Level 5 marriage.

Authors Larry and Deb Walkemeyer write with experiences from over forty years of ministry leadership, decades of counseling other pastors, lessons from their own failures and triumphs, and their passion to see marriages be used as effective tools for God's multiplication mission. The Walkemeyers draw on all these to share key learnings on successful marriages. Through scriptural teaching, compelling stories, and time-tested wisdom, they offer the path forward for marriages. Every couple, especially couples in ministry leadership, need to learn and implement these five habits that lead to true "oneness."

"If you want to move a struggling marriage to a good marriage or move a good marriage to a great marriage, Together with Family is a terrific book to show you how."
