Without the proper foundation, the most beautiful building--or marriage--can collapse. We all come to marriage with expectations and ideas, with knowledge and suppositions.

If we don't measure these against God's truths, we will build our relationship on lies. That's when the foundation can shift as on sand, bringing us to the brink of disaster.

Joined by God exposes common misconceptions about marriage and critical truths from Scripture, guides couples through analyzing their marriage, and reveals what can be done to immediately improve it. Even if a spouse reads alone because their mate is resistant or uninterested, or conflicting schedules make reading together impossible, using this book can bring lasting improvement, growth, and intimacy.

Give God seven weeks. Let Him change your life and your marriage.

This seven-week tool provides provocative and practical applications to you as individuals and as a couple. Shellie's candor and insights help you examine the "whys" of your motivation as you seek to become a better "us" in your marriage! We highly recommend the investment for every couple seeking to grow closer in their love for one another.
