Ten Pillars of an Awesome Marriage

Don't endure what you can enjoy!

By Charles T. Shoemaker

Overview

In the course of writing this book, I have been asked, "Why another book on marriage? What makes this book so different?" Many authors write with knowledge and experience, but most, even Christian authors, do not weave into their writing an abundance of God's Word. In short, it is the Word of God that makes the difference in this book, in life and in marriage! The value of this book goes way beyond my knowledge, experience and longevity; it is the bedrock, relevant truth of God's word which sets this book apart! This book contains and explains God's perspective on the following 10 pillars. . .  Core Values  Compatibility  Commitment  Communication  Conflict Resolution  Charity  Choices  Companionship  Chemistry  Christ and the Church
