Marriage ROCKS for Christian Couples
You deserve more in your marriage because
- Your marriage has yet to achieve the level of beauty and influence that God has in mind for you
- God promises in his Word that he will perform abundantly more in your life than you can ask or imagine
- There is untapped potential within you that God wants to unleash
However, evidence suggests that marriage may be losing to more secular values. African Americans, in particular, have one of the lowest marriage rates in the country, and their divorce rate is among the highest. In response to the critical condition of black marriages, Dr. Harold Arnold offers a twelve- step model in Marriage ROCKS for Christian Couples.
With the Marriage ROCKS method, Arnold challenges couples to establish and strengthen their relationship on a rock-solid foundation of:
*Redemption -- the rock of grace
*Offering -- the rock of sacrifice
*Covenant -- the rock of boundaries
*Knowledge -- the rock of power
*Sacred space -- the rock of worship
The book leads couples at all levels of relational intimacy on a journey to discover how marriage (1) develops the human capacity to experience the fullness of God’s love and (2) becomes a ministry through which to share God’s love with others. Designed for use by individual couples, with small groups, or in counseling contexts, this practical book includes biblical study, discussion questions, and action steps. A separate Leader’s Guide is also available.
