A Well-Rounded Love Affair: More Than Between the Sheets

In America, there is one divorce every thirteen seconds. That's 6,646 divorces per day and 46,523 divorces per week. Why is the divorce rate so high? Are people getting married too soon and not getting to really know each other first, or are couples throwing in the towel on their marriage without truly trying? When God ordained the marriage of a man and a woman, He never said it would be easy, because it involves the union of two imperfect people, blending together with their own imperfections. Marriage is not a fairy tale, with a "happily ever after" ending. However, it is a union that requires two people working together daily at becoming one and developing the ability to recognize the attacks of the enemy. In A Well-Rounded Love Affair, you will learn how to focus on specific areas to help your relationship blossom. Some of the important areas are:

- Covering your marriage with prayer
- Learning to forgive
- Realizing selfish love can't thrive
- You and your spouse working together to become one

Through your reading, you will further see that it will take more than intimacy to hold your marriage together.
