Marriage: From Surviving to Thriving: Practical Advice on Making Your Marriage Strong

Discover how to move your marriage from just surviving to actually thriving.

The world has changed, and it's going to keep changing.

That's no big revelation, but we cling to the fleeting hope that we can return to the gentler, more stable days gone by . . . especially where our marriages are concerned. But the truth is, we can't, because as the world changes, so do we, and so do our marriages.

Let's face it: marriage and the home have altered drastically through the years. Men are afraid to be men. Women are ashamed of being women. Children are unsure of who's in charge. Blended and not-so-well-blended families. Homes that have become battlegrounds. And all of it so unstable, so temporary.

In the face of these depressing facts, beloved pastor and Bible teacher Chuck Swindoll offers a refreshing dose of hope and practical help for marriage. His sage advice, based on the Bible and his own fifty-year marriage, shows us how to move our marriages from just surviving to actually thriving. And that target can be hit dead-center if we rely on God and His Word as our marriage counselor, our guide, our glue.

Pastor Charles R. Swindoll has devoted his life to the accurate, practical teaching and application of God’s Word. He is the founding pastor of Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas, as well as the founder of Insight for Living, a leading program in Christian broadcasting since 1979 that airs around the world. Chuck has also served as president and chancellor emeritus at Dallas Theological Seminary and has written more than 135 books for a worldwide reading audience, for which he has received the Gold Medallion Lifetime Achievement Award, twelve Gold Medallion Awards, and the Christian Book Award for Bible of the Year.
