Marriage without Misery,Used

Review "Too many Christians marry each other believing being Christian is enough to guarantee a successful marriage, but there's nothing further from the truth. Marriage without Misery does a masterful job of challenging all people to realize the necessity of putting in the work to have a successful marriage. . . . Many books identify biblical principles associated with marriage, but Marriage without Misery takes the next step to help readers apply the biblical principles to their marriages to combat the proclivity to sinful actions and attitudes that results in selfcentered living. Knowing Jesus and practicing the scriptural principles in this book will put you on the path to experiencing a marriage without misery." D. Z. Cofield, Senior Pastor, Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church "I am so proud of Darrell and Cynthia Rose for their exceptional book. As long as I have known them, they have been providing effective counsel to others while glorifying God in their own marriage. Their book is immensely practical, thoroughly biblical, and deeply compassionate in how it confronts the challenges of marriage. Be sure to read it with an open Bible and a highlighter as well as a pen because the information in this book has the power to be used by God to transform the most miserable marriages for his glory."
