Making Your Marriage a Fortress - by Gary Thomas

This is a must read for anyone wanting to really guard, strengthen and fortify their marriage. Issues arise, storms come, challenges are inevitable but marriages don't have to fall prey to them. Gary speaks from a wealth of pastoral wisdom and insight in his ever real and practical way to leave you with tools that will help you make your marriage a fortress. He shares real life stories and sage advice from leaders in the field of marriage. He addresses relationships from dating to long time marriages all coupled with God's word to give you tools that are solid. Each chapter ends with takeaways that are invaluable. It's easy to read and straight forward. He laid a foundation of Biblical marriage in his book Sacred Marriage. He added depth with his book Cherish. I would recommend these as well. And Making Your Marriage a Fortress provides the necessary nuts and bolts needed to safeguard and be prepared for your marriage to be fortress strong. We will be using this book as a training tool in our church's marriage ministry. I received an ARC for which I am very grateful. The opinions expressed are entirely my own.
