Synopsis

We all want a marriage that feels like home. We long for a partner who is there for us through all of life's challenges and griefs, who is in on all our inside jokes, who delights in the family we've built together, who looks with hope toward the future with a shared faith and an arm firmly around our shoulders. But how do we get there? What actually works in the real world and honors the picture of marriage found in Scripture?

Based on the findings of their meticulous research, Sheila Wray Gregoire and Dr. Keith Gregoire dispel the pervasive myths about what makes a happy marriage. Rather than relying on gender stereotypes, they look at what actually creates intimacy, emotional health, and connection, asking deeper questions that lead to real healing and growth in your relationship with your spouse.

With enlightening stories, survey results, and practical tools, this book will help readers create a marriage they love. And with the evidence-based, Scripture-honoring advice in this book, that just may be closer than you imagine.

Goodreads review by Bethany on February 22, 2025

I have read a lot of highly recommended books on how to have a good, “Biblical” marriage. I have tried following their advice and it has not yielded the promised results. The Marriage You Want is refreshingly different. Not only have they actually done their research, but because they have, they pre......more

Goodreads review by Prairie on January 31, 2025

This is a must-read if you are interested in creating your best possible marriage. The first thing I noticed was the conversational tone of the book. Yes, it is FULL of facts (real facts, backed up by solid research, not opinions presented as "facts"), but it is very easy to read and to understand.......more
