Synopsis

What makes a marriage beautiful? Honesty? Compatibility? Physical and emotional intimacy? All of these are important, but there’s one component that determines the quality and longevity of a marriage more than anything else: a willingness to grow.

Because a wedding joins together two imperfect people, all couples experience disappointment, conflict, and pain. How husbands and wives respond to these challenges determines the kind of people they will become and the kind of marriage they will have.

Making Marriage Beautiful reveals how the pursuit of Christ results in profound transformation for both the individual and the marriage. Rather than offering clichés and formulas, Greco relies on candor, humor, and real life stories to bring encouragement and wisdom to all couples, regardless of whether they have been married four weeks or forty years.

About this title

From the Author:

There are literally thousands of marriage books out there. Making Marriage Beautiful is different for several reasons. One, it's written by a woman for both men and women. (Male authors are great but they don't know everything there is to know about marriage.) Two, it's super vulnerable. I include actual stories from my 25 year marriage as well as stories from eight diverse couples. Three, it's practical without being formulaic or cliche. And finally, it's both hopeful and funny. If you want to read more before you buy a copy, you can download chapter one from my website (dorothygreco.com).

About the Author:

Dorothy Greco and her husband, Christopher, have spent the last twenty-five years making their marriage beautiful. They are well aware that great marriages don't simply happen. For the past twenty years, they have helped other men and women create and sustain healthy marriages through marital and premarital classes, seminars, conferences, and long-term healing programs. Dorothy's writing has been featured in Relevant Magazine, Christianity Today, Sojourners, Women Leaders, The Mudroom, SheLoves, and Start Marriage Right. The Grecos have three sons (and one amazing daughter-in-law) and live outside Boston. When Dorothy is not writing, she's either taking photographs or kayaking with her husband.
