A classic book for couples about to marry, those already married, and the clergy and congregations that support them.
In this updated edition, Linda Grenz and Delbert Glover invite you to join them as they address the trials and tribulations of marriage. Whether you are an engaged or married couple or a clergyperson who offers spiritual guidance to couples, you'll benefit from the wise and practical advice of the authors, who have been married for over thirty years. The new material is inclusive and offers a framework for discussing topics such as extended family, financial matters, fighting fair, intimacy, and illness, and end-of-life considerations. The Marriage Journey can be used:
- By clergy and lay ministers to help couples prepare for the sacrament of marriage
- To encourage couples to consider their values and expectations as they think about embarking on a life together
- To help married couples deepen their relationship
- And to provide congregations with practical ways to strengthen and uphold couples in their communities
In this comprehensive resource, clergy members, couples, and congregations will find enriching and nourishing practical and spiritual advice.
