Finding Strength in Love, Faith, and Commitment
Marriage can be rewarding, but it can also face challenges that are not always easy to solve. Attending to Your Marriage: A Resource for Christian Couples by Charles J. Joanides is created for couples at different stages of marriage, whether they are preparing to get married, newly married, or trying to protect and rebuild the connection they already have.
The book combines practical examples, research, and an Orthodox Christian perspective to help couples pay closer attention to their relationship and its needs. Instead of treating marriage as something that simply works on its own, Attending to Your Marriage encourages couples to think about communication, forgiveness, intimacy, faith, and the everyday effort needed to keep love strong.
