Love Never Ends: Growing Together in Marriage and Faith

A threefold cord is not quickly broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:12) A relationship where God and spouses are entwined is as strong and resistant to stresses as a braided cord. A stable, meaningful marriage is further strengthened by a shared spiritual journey, write the authors. There's a reciprocal relationship between marital and spiritual growth. In our counseling, we often hear how joint faith is one of the most important factors in the vitality and stability of marriage. In Love Never Ends, the Lauers show you how to strengthen both your relationship with God and with your spouse. Their approach is biblical, realistic, anecdotal and practical.
