Build a Stronger Marriage: The Path to Oneness (Bob Lepine)
Best-selling author and longtime FamilyLife Today cohost Bob Lepine helps you work through the challenges that emerge in every marriage, causing couples to become isolated and alienated.
All marriages face seasons of distress and frustration—times when, thanks to a variety of factors, you don’t feel as close as you once were. Lepine helps you make the adjustments necessary to build the kind of marriage God intends for you to have and encourages you back on the path to oneness.
Build a Stronger Marriage maps out this path to oneness by first helping you and your spouse uncover how your motivations and expectations about marriage, childhood hardship, or family of origin issues, guilt, shame, or unaddressed relational wounds can impact a marriage relationship. You will be able to trade blame, dissatisfaction, and disappointment for a stronger, richer, and more rewarding relationship.

The Exemplary Husband: A Biblical Perspective (Stuart Scott)
A book which shows how a Christian husband who starts with his relationship to God in the areas of reverence, worship, love, humility learns, from these, the foundation for knowing how to love and lead his wife. A powerful and helpful section on “fatal sins” to a husband’s life: anger, anxiety, fear, lust, and how to fight them.
God ordained marriage between a man and a woman for companionship, procreation, and so man would have a suitable helper. However, God says much more in the Bible about husbands loving their wives than He says about wives submitting to their husbands. He created marriage to be a picture of the relationship between Christ and the Church. Christ was willing to sacrifice His life for the Church, and God expects no less from husbands today.
The overall purpose of The Exemplary Husband is to assist husbands toward purposeful and lasting Christ-likeness for the glory of God. It was written to be a companion book for The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace. Couples who commit to the biblical principles presented in these books will find a oneness in marriage that will give God glory and bring His blessing.

Marriage: 6 Gospel Commitments Every Couple Needs to Make (Paul David Tripp)
Marriage, according to Scripture, will always involve two flawed people living with each other in a fallen world. Yet, in pastor Paul Tripp’s professional experience, the majority of couples enter marriage with unrealistic expectations, leaving them unprepared for the day-to-day realities of married life.
This unique book introduces a biblical and practical approach to those realities that is rooted in God’s faithfulness and Scripture’s teaching on sin and grace. “Spouses need to be reconciled to each other and to God on a daily basis,” Tripp declares. “Since we’re always sinners married to sinners, reconciliation isn’t just the right response in moments of failure. It must be the lifestyle of any healthy marriage.”

Building a Godly Home, Vol 2: A Holy Vision for a Happy Marriage (William Gouge)
For years, William Gouge’s Domestical Duties has stood as the foremost Puritan treatment of Christian family life. Yet due to its size and antiquated expression, it has become almost unknown among current generations of believers. To help revive the usefulness of this classic book, Scott Brown and Joel R. Beeke have divided Gouge’s work into three manageable volumes, updated the language to modern standards, and have given them the title Building a Godly Home.
In this second volume, A Holy Vision for a Happy Marriage, we find detailed counsel about the most important relationship in the family—husband and wife. Gouge carefully addresses what a fit marriage is and the proper way to enter into one. He then discusses the mutual duties married couples share in order for marriage to survive and thrive, as well as the duties specific to men and women respectively.
Not only does he give detailed treatment of how these responsibilities are best expressed and too often hindered, but he also provides ample biblical motivation to set us on the right course. Christian husbands and wives will find much encouragement in this book.

Letters to a Romantic – First Years of Marriage
“This book for newlyweds is needed and tremendously helpful. It contains timely challenges and encouragements as well as relevant instructions for people at every stage of marriage, though its material is especially relevant for newlyweds.
Having been in ministry and having had the privilege of performing the premarital counseling as well as the weddings of numerous people over the past sixty-two years, I wish that this book had been available to give to all these couples as they began their marriages. Marriages that begin right are much more likely to continue right. And I highly recommend this book as a vital part of that good beginning.”

The Complete Husband (Lou Priolo)
An outstanding Biblical manual for a man to learn how to love his wife! The Apostle Peter’s counsel to live with your wife in an understanding way is explained here, helping husbands to be kind and tender with the authority given them. This is a fabulous book to encourage husbands to have the kind of Christian marriage God intended.
Author Lou Priolo turns his years of biblical counseling wisdom to the subject of being a husband: the type of husband that the Lord Jesus Christ wants all Christian men to be. The author reminds men that if they wished their wives came with an owner’s manual, they did; it’s called the Bible! Far from giving men carte blanche to order their wives around, Priolo shows men how the Bible instructs them to “know their wives.” After all, wives have dreams, goals, desires – and sorrows, just like men. It is the husband’s job to find out what they are and “cultivate” his wife so that she becomes spiritually fertile.

Marriage is Hard (Susan Black)
Truths I Wish I Had Understood Before I Got Married
Don’t all of us who are married wish the same!
The title may sound like something obvious, but many wives are afraid – or too dreamy-eyed – to admit it. They go into marriage with absurdly high expectations of bliss, and when things begin to get tough, they wonder if they made a mistake – the wrong choice? They look around and think that everyone else’s marriage is full of non-stop joy and pleasure.
The reality is that all marriages are hard because they all have unavoidable and unanticipated challenges and trials. Marriage is hard because it is the union of two sinners engaged in the eternal battle between self-centeredness and servanthood, between living for self or dying to self. Marriages can flourish or die on this battlefield. But God is faithful, and He has a gracious plan of heart-transformation for any wife who will commit her way to Him.
Great for small group Bible Study. Study questions for each of the ten chapters.

Christian Marriage: From Basic Principles to Transformed Relationships (Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones)
In an age which has seen an almost total collapse of marriage and when, in many cases, marriages end in divorce with children being raised in ‘broken homes’, Dr. Lloyd-Jones’ words speak powerfully into our present situation. It is a situation which may be seen as giving Christians, and especially Christian marriages, a valuable opportunity to bear witness to biblical truth.
The way in which Dr. Lloyd-Jones, like the Apostle Paul, deals with marriage relationship, is extremely important – to attempt to deal with Christian practice apart from Christian doctrine is to tread a dangerous path. As these chapters on Ephesians make clear, the only Christianity powerful enough to penetrate and change society is that which is derived from the work of the Spirit of God.
