Description

A wife of nearly 30 years and a speaker at FamilyLife conferences looks to the owner's manual for marriage, the Bible, to discover what it means to have a marriage based on God's principles rather than the destructive ideas of modern society. This guide lays a solid biblical foundation upon which any woman can build an enduring, fulfilling marriage.
