Better love now! : making your marriage a lifelong love affair
"Something is wrong with our culture's understanding of marriage," says best-selling author and Bible teacher Tommy Nelson (The Book of Romance). In Better Love Now!, Nelson mends that understanding, comparing the essential but too often ignored elements of matrimony to fence posts. With wisdom, humor, and frankness, he clearly expounds on the areas that keep a marriage standing strong: Priorities; Communication; Your Life Together; Family Life; Respect; and Sex. Best of all, Tommy mixes scientific and psychological insight with biblical assuredness, exciting readers about the improving state of their sacred union. "Build your marriage on God's revelation and it will never fail." With wisdom, humor, and necessary frankness, Tommy Nelson guides men and women through each topic, looking closely and candidly at the expectations and assumptions they both bring into their marriage. Together in this less vulnerable setting, couples can put any issue that might need improvement on the table, begin to better understand one another, and soon achieve escalated romance and relationship rewards. Your marriage was made to be a lifelong love affair. Take a step toward better love now! - Publisher
