Product Description:
The Covenant Marriage program encourages Christians to exercise the promises and expectations of God's covenant love in marriage. Practicing Covenant Marriage means couples must offer each other steadfast loyalty, forgiveness, empathy, and commitment to resolving conflict so as to encourage each other in spiritual growth.
In this new book, Dr. Chapman shows how communication and intimacy are two of the most important aspects in developing a successful Covenant Marriage. At the heart of it all are the principles that lasting answers to marital growth are found in the Bible, your relationship with God enhances your marriage relationship, communication is the primary vehicle by which two persons become one in the marriage relationship, and the idea of biblical oneness involves not only sex, but intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and social oneness.,/p>

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Should be required reading for pre-marital counseling
Sadly, based upon our skyrocketing divorce rate, our society has essentially changed the words in the marriage vows to "as long as I get what I want" from "as long as we both shall live." Dr. Chapman says that our marriage vow (promise before God) is supposed to be a covenant to love our spouse regardless of what we receive back from them - not a contract in which we agree to give our spouse something of value as long as we receive back something of value.
Rating: - spectacular!
we are studying this book in our marriage group and we absolutly LOVE it! i recommend it to anyone who is married or is planning on being married. i think it would help engaged couples understand marriage better too before they say I do!
Rating: - A MUST READ for every man, engaged or married!!!
Covenant marriage provides a framework for marriage the way GOD designed it - that is for a man to enter into a covenant relationship with his wife. Every successful marriage is based on and begins with a clear understanding of GOD'S design, plan and purpose for marriage. "Covenant Marriage" is an excellent starting point to gain that understanding!!!
Rating: - Great addition
Gary Chapman is just a normal guy trying to live a Christian life. His marriage seminar is great if you ever get a chance to attend one. I really like this book and have been giving it as a wedding present.
Rating: - An excellent resource
This is a great book for married couples and well as those contemplating marraige. I have read a number of books on covenant marriage and consider this one of the best. The communication chapters and the various intimacy chapters are very well written. You will not be disappointed in having this book on your self for a resource for years to come.
