Description
Most books on marriage offer ten easy steps and twenty-five proven principles for achieving marital bliss. But Walter Wangerin side-steps such easy answers and offers us instead an intimate portrait of his own courtship and thirty-two year marriage-and a pastoral view of married life that inspires readers to view their own marriages with new honesty and hope. Wangerin's six tasks of marriage encourages couples to better understand and happily live out the vows they made, giving them tools to nurture and maintain a strong marital relationship. In his endorsement, Philip Yancey accurately describes this book as "an enduring classic and a book of wisdom, beauty, compassion, and piercing honesty."
Media reviews
Christian Retailing
Not a book for those who prefer the status quo, the easy answer. But it is a gem, nonetheless.
Lutheran Woman's Quarterly
Take time - make time - for this book. You may find that the only thing that obstructs your reading...will be your tears...The kind that clear your vision for the next time you look in the mirror - or at your spouse.
Eternity
Wholesome, carefully thought out, thoroughly Christian, and full of good pastoral and practical advice.
Virtue
Crisp and creative, offering a practical and thought-provoking perspective.
Library Journal
Most books on this parlous subject have half-lives shorter than most American marriages. But this is something different.
