Most people get married with the assumption that marriage itself is a destination. But along the way, you discover that, as wonderful as marriage may be, it is more of a journey than it is a destination. Rather than being an island of unending bliss, it's more like a long road trip—the kind of road trip where you are excited for the destination, love the memories along the way...and sometimes get annoyed with aspects of the journey.
In this practical book—a travel guide, of sorts—Paul and Terrie Chappell candidly share biblical principles and personal, transparent illustrations that will equip you to go further as a couple. Whether you are a newlywed or have been married for decades, you will find in these pages truths to help you clarify your destination, communicate your needs, grow as a couple, and even shed some luggage along the way.
No couple has "arrived." But every Christian couple can enjoy marriage as the incredible journey God intended it to be.
