Discover the Path to Regaining Oneness in Marriage
Bob Lepine equips couples with the tools to build the kind of relationship God intended. All marriages face seasons of distress and frustration—times when thanks to a variety of factors couples don’t feel as close as they once were. In Build a Stronger Marriage: The Path to Oneness (New Growth Press/ September 26, 2022), bestselling author and longtime FamilyLife Today cohost Bob Lepine helps couples work through the challenges that emerge in every marriage, causing couples to become isolated and alienated. He helps readers make the adjustments necessary to build the kind of marriage God intended. Seeing marriage from God’s point of view is the path to oneness. Lepine maps out this path to oneness by first helping spouses uncover how their motivations and expectations about marriage, childhood hardships and family of origin issues, and unaddressed relational wounds can impact a marriage relationship. Husbands and wives will be able to trade blame, dissatisfaction, and disappointment for a stronger, richer, and more rewarding relationship.“It’s natural for a marriage to drift toward isolation, and there are a variety of factors that can create a wedge in a marriage. But the message of the gospel is that broken relationships can be healed by God’s grace working in our lives,” Lepine shares. “Taking proactive steps to begin applying the gospel in our marriages can help us build a stronger marriage.”As a pastor, Lepine has worked with couples who love one another but have never learned how to bring the gospel to bear on the issues that left them divided and wounded in their marriage. However, once they did learn to apply the gospel, it made all the difference. He wanted pastors, mentors, and counselors to have a resource they could use to help couples work through the issues they’re facing. “In almost three decades of talking to couples whose marriages were done, I’ve heard story after story of how God worked in the hearts of the husbands and wives to bring something new and beautiful from the ruins of their relationship. I know it’s possible, even in the worst of situations.”Dave and Ann Wilson, hosts of FamilyLife Today® write, “There is no one better to write about marriage than Bob. After interviewing thousands of theologians, pastors, and authors about marriage and family for over twenty-five years, Bob has gained a wealth of wisdom. More importantly, he lives it at home with his wife, Mary Ann. His wisdom will transform your marriage and your legacy. We trust no one more than Bob to articulate God’s truth for marriage.”Build a Stronger Marriage is part of the new Ask the Christian Counselor series. This series walks readers through their deepest and most profound questions. Each question is unpacked by an experienced counselor that gives readers the tools to understand their struggle and how the gospel brings hope and healing to the problem they are facing. The books are compact, offering accessible and insightful help in a concise format that won’t overwhelm the reader, but going deeper than New Growth Press’s popular minibooks.Build a Stronger Marriage: The Path to Oneness
