"When couples hit a rough patch in their marriage, the tendency for most is to seek better ways of behaving and performing in order to improve the relationship. The problem, of course, is that outward behavior doesn’t always reflect the true state of our hearts! In their new book, Brad and Marilyn Rhoads have extended a gospel-oriented approach to marriage that is rooted in the kind of love and grace Christ holds out to us."

"The Rhoads tackle each with courage, clarity, and biblically based strategies. I particularly love their reminder that “God uses marriage—and sometimes our spouse, specifically—as an avenue of grace to grow us more into His likeness.” This book should be required reading for every marriage ministry and premarital program."
