At the beginning of creation, "God made them male and female. Because of this, a man should leave his father and mother and be joined together with his wife, and the two will be one flesh." So they are no longer two but one flesh. (Mark 10:6-8, CEB)

Marriage. It's been around for millennia, so what more can be said that hasn't already been said? Many books on Christian marriage have been written, but most assume that the Bible puts men in a leadership role, while women are to be submissive. But there's a better way. Not only is it healthier for families, but it's more faithful to the Bible. The Bible casts a vision of marriage where men and women co-lead and co-serve as equal partners. This book explores that vision.

This book is for those considering marriage, those already engaged, newlyweds, and any couple seeking to improve their relationship. Written for both individual couples or groups, chapters include discussion questions, exercises, and suggestions for further reading
