Overview

This is a participant guide for use in a 10-week Marriage Maintenance group. Each participant should have his or her own copy. A facilitators' guide is available for guidance through the course. Every marriage needs a goal beyond mutual happiness and joy. Let your marriage be an inspiration of joy, encouragement, and hope for other marriages. Preventative maintenance on your vehicle does not guarantee your vehicle will be 100% problem-free, but it greatly reduces the risk of catastrophic failure. Likewise, marriage maintenance does not guarantee that your marriage will be problem-free, but it will ensure your marriage is best prepared to handle the challenges of this life. This book relies on biblical principals and draws from wisdom of other sources as well as real-life experiences of the authors. It is written by broken people who have experienced failed marriages and want to help others avoid some of the pitfalls that often befall marriages.
