Publisher's Description
When it comes to marriage these days, anything goes. No wonder you can find a book on marriage from every perspective--or no perspective. How can you experience a great marriage that lasts? What works? This book answers that question by shining a light on the biblical design for marriage. In a world of sexual and relational confusion, isn't it time to consult the One who created marriage? Author and pastor Chip Ingram, with his characteristic compassion, transparency, and engaging storytelling, discusses- what marriage really is- the biblical model- a man's unique role in marriage- a woman's unique role in marriage- the bigger picture of why God created marriageA marriage that works, says Ingram, is more wonderful than you thought possible and harder than you imagined--but worth the work. Couples will learn the power of making a covenant with their spouse and fulfilling their design in an atmosphere of respect, resulting in the spiritual, psychological, emotional, and physical oneness they long to have with each other.

“If you are looking for a practical, biblically based picture of marriage, you need look no further. Chip Ingram has nailed it. I highly recommend Marriage That Works.”
“A deeply life-giving marriage is not some elusive thing we strive for but can never achieve. To love God and love each other extravagantly is exactly what we were made for. Chip’s wisdom and experience are evident on every page of Marriage That Works, and our marriages would look radically different if we let these truths change us.”
“At Focus on the Family, we hear from couples every day who are struggling in their relationships and desperately seeking healing in their marriages. Through personal and pastoral experience—along with a keen understanding of biblical teaching—Chip Ingram casts a vision for marriage as God intends it. Better yet, he shows readers how to achieve the kind of marriage they’ve always dreamed of.”
“This is not just another book on marriage. Chip cuts through political correctness to get to the heart of Christlikeness by challenging both men and women to greater sacrifice in their relationship with one another.”
“My friend Chip Ingram has provided couples with a practical, relevant tool to enhance their relationship to make it all that God intended it to be. You and your mate will be blessed as you live out the principles in this book.”
Dr. Tony Evans
“Chip Ingram writes from the uncompromising biblical foundation of God’s design for marriage. His challenges for men and women are strong and yet sensitive, principled but practical. This book is a fresh approach to a continuing need. Each chapter has a set of study questions which will make this book very useful for personal or small group application.”
“I quote Chip Ingram frequently. This is one of my favorite quotes of Chip’s: ‘Marriage is not a debate to be won; it is a dance to be enjoyed.’ That’s so true! In Marriage That Works Chip shows us how to enjoy the dance. His practical illustrations from his own marriage, coupled with the truth of God’s Word, will help improve and transform your marriage.”
