Synopsis

You have a God-given purpose, and so does your marriage! 

You and your spouse are as unique as God is creative. He designed you with distinction. His fingerprints are all over your lives. The day you married, God joined you for a purpose and destined you, together, for greatness.

Ecclesiastes 4:9 12 says, Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Two Are Better than One provides couples with insights and hands-on resources to identify God s purpose for their marriage, inspiring them to celebrate one another and step toward God s plan for their marriage.

God has afforded me to engage with thought leaders and content creators around the world. As I read Two Are Better Than One, I realized yet another personal benefit of a great book. Greg and Julie have done two great and unusual things in this book. They have demonstrated authenticity and vulnerability in every page. Secondly, they have given more than theory and ideas; they give practice and applicable tools to make your marriage better than ever.

Hope, help, and healing. What keeps us from living out God’s best purpose for our marriage? I believe we lose hope, we refuse help, and we sometimes doubt that healing is possible for us. And yet, God offers each of these to us because they’re absolutely necessary in marriage. As you work your way through this book may you allow fresh hope to arise within you. May you be humble enough to receive the tangible help the Gormans offer here. And may you open your hands and ask God to heal your souls and make you whole. As you dare to draw near to each other and to God, you will know a fresh passion and purpose in your marriage that your souls have always longed for.

—Susie Larson, talk-radio host, national speaker, and author of Your Beautiful Purpose
