"Marriage is one of God's highest gifts to us. Sadly, couples don't often have the skills necessary to experience this gift. The result is alienation and worse. Jared Pingleton has done an exceptional job of creating a biblically sound and highly practical resource that will help transform marriages. I highly recommend Making Magnificent Marriages!" - Dr. John Townsend, best-selling author, leadership consultant, clinical psychologist
