There are things that bind a couple together—like forgiveness, humor, and trust—and things that break their connection, such as grudges, power struggles, and unrealistic expectations. This book clearly lays out the blueprint for a successful marriage, informing readers of 7 things they must stop, 7 things they must start, and why 7 minutes of guided devotions and prayer can make such a difference. Research has shown that if couples spend devotional time together at least 4 times a week, they will have a stronger marriage that can last the test of time. Best-selling author Stephen Arterburn guides husbands and wives to strengthen their connection with each other and with the One who bound their hearts together.
