Reading Christian books on marriage doesn't mean your marriage will automatically be wonderful. In fact, building a great Christian marriage doesn't happen in a day, or a week, or a month. It is a steady, progressive, one-issue-at-a-time proposition. And even with the best intentions, the process is still difficult at best, especially if you're hoping for a Christian marriage reconciliation.
On the other hand, filling yourself up with great stuff helps to get things moving in the right direction.
"Save Your Christian Marriage" is one of the best christian books on marriage I've read in a very long time. This book is for you, even if your marriage isn't in trouble. It comes with one on one advice directly from the author, who works with couples every single day.
Saying you're a Christian and truly acting like one are sometimes two very different things. And acting like one around your spouse...well...that seems to be the hardest of all some days.
Sometimes an extra marital affair can really complicate your marriage. It devastates your relationship and you feel like you are out of options.
Before you make any decisions, it's always best to get a different perspective. What if your marriage can be saved? What if you can find a way to deal with the hurt and betrayal?
"Affair Repair" is one of the Christian marriage books with a no-nonsense approach to seeing a true Christian marriage reconciliation. It lays things out step by step so you know exactly what to do next.
Following your Christian priorities has to be your commitment and that means being nice to your spouse, even when you don't want to. After all, putting other people first is at the top of the priorities list.
And, of course, there was that day when you took all those vows. You remember how you promised to be patient, kind, not jealous, and of course, there's that whole concept of helping your spouse fulfill his life purpose.
Lots of people read all kinds of Christian marriage books in the hope they'll stumble onto what truly works. But in reality, it is choosing to love one day at a time.
OK, here are some of my favorite authors of Christian books on marriage:
I like anything by Gary Smalley. He's been working with couples for lots of years. I've seen some of his DVD's as well as read his books.
I guarantee you'll love any one of these:
I also love Kevin Lehman's stuff. He has an amazing sense of humor that makes the tough stuff go down a whole lot easier.
Gary Chapman is also awesome. I love his style. My husband and I both love his stuff. I got hooked after reading The Five Love Languages.
