Marriage Done Right: One Man, One Woman

by Jim Daly, Tom Parks (Narrated by)

Overview

Falling in love is a miracle and a mystery. But marriage? A good marriage is no mystery: it is possible for any couple to achieve—if they're willing to abide by some simple, powerful guidelines.

In Marriage Done Right, Focus on the Family President Jim Daly draws on his years spent listening to the marital questions of radio callers, his own life, and the enduring wisdom of the Gospels to bring readers key secrets of successful, long-lasting marriages. With a "Marriage Assessment" readers can take to evaluate the state of their unions and indispensable resources—including the best advice from long-married couples, the most common regrets of divorced people, and the 12 traits of highly successful marriages—Marriage Done Right is a guide to finding and keeping marital happiness, which is the foundation of a healthy life and loving family.

Editorial Reviews

"Marriage, as it is defined in Scripture, is one of God's greatest gifts to mankind. It is not just an institution for Christians; it is an outworking of common grace to all of humanity. But there are divine parameters to marriage, and we ignore them at our peril. I'm so glad that my friend Jim Daly has written a book that explores the wonder and beauty of this foundational institution."
—Dr. Greg Smalley, vice president of Family Ministries at Focus on the Family
