A Happy Marriage

Marriage is one of God’s greatest gifts. He instituted marriage not only for our blessing but also as a powerful reflection of Christ’s love for His church. Yet in a world stained by sin, happiness in marriage can feel elusive.

In this book, Rebecca VanDoodewaard weaves together Scripture, theological truths, and stories of Christian couples from around the world. She illustrates the joy that comes from modeling marriage according to God’s design––joy that even the darkest trials cannot steal away.

The real-life stories in this book address topics such as:

• Communicating in a cross-cultural marriage

• Handling marital conflict

• Navigating major life transitions

• Struggling with infertility

• Supporting a spouse in ministry

• Trusting God amid suffering
