From You & Me to We - by Johnny Morton & Carla Morton (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

From You & Me to WE is a 52-week marriage devotional for married couples. Each week's devotional includes scripture and couple challenges for the couple to work on together.

As marriages and families have disintegrated in our culture, there's been a corresponding decline in church attendance. Certified marriage coaches Johnny and Carla Morton see the connection between the failure rate for marriage and church decline. While the church has focused on discipleship, it has often neglected strengthening marriage within the church and community. Couples don't just benefit from, but need, effective resources to help them build strong, healthy marriages.

This book will give couples the tools they need to build a stronger marriage.

Weekly devotion supported with Scripture, designed to help couples develop the habits necessary for nurturing their relationship. Relatable, personal testimony from the authors addressing the struggles they've overcome and what most couples will face throughout marriage - sex, finances, disagreements, illness, trauma, etc.Discussion questions that will initiate the conversations every couple needs to haveStrong calls to action that give couples tangible ways to connect, encourage, and challenge one another.

By applying these sound principles, couples will learn to build a relationship that flourishes.

Strong marriage relationships are vital to the health of our churches and our communities. As Dr. Gary J. Oliver says, "As go marriages so go families; as go families so go churches; as go churches so go communities; as go communities so go states; as go states so go nations; as go nations so go entire civilizations."
