A larger picture of marriage

A good resource with a broad perspective on marriage. If you are honest with yourself, you will find that you need to work on yourself first.

Excellent resource!

Debra does an excellent job of using her expertise in Christian counseling to point to biblical truths on marriage. This was an enjoyable read even as it stepped on my toes. I look forward to rereading as we work to make our marriage even better. Thank you!

Well thought out and full of good advice

Just to give perspective, I have read or listened to many dating and marriage books and one thing I really appreciate about Debra Fileta is that she discusses topics in a very balanced and full pictured way. I loved reading her book True Love Dates and was excited to hear that she was coming out with Choosing Marriage. Even though I am not married yet, I was convicted of different issues I see in my life and was encouraged to discover them and start dealing with them now instead of after getting married. This book goes to the core and helps discover heart issues that need to be healed to have a healthy and thriving marriage as well as talking through the misconceptions we often have of marriage and the actual reality of day-to-day life onced married. Marriage really is about making many choices of loving another even when you don't feel like it and also learning to discuss both of your needs with each other so you can both meet those needs in a balanced and healthy way. Both partners need to be on the same page and choose marriage. Very well written book! I will definitely add this to my books to re-listen to and would definitely recommend this to married couples, those who are dating, and singles.

Incredible...!

This book is Spot on and should be the endeavor of every married couple.. A marriage built and based on Gods principles will ALWAYS weather any storm. I am so very grateful that Debra points to so many supporting scripture as foundational Truth to support the text. Though I am in the middle of divorce - I am believing God for Divine Restoration. In marriage, 'WE' must ALWAYS be Greater than me. Thank you...

Great book for singles and married alike!!

Debra is fantastic! Blessed by this book and excited to implement much of it to strengthen my marriage.

Realistic view of what Christian Marriage is.

Honestly giving advise for marriage both Christian and non Christian challenges and strategies to have a Godly loving marriage.

Every couple needs to read this

Practical and Christ-focused advice for all stages of marriage - read it while you are single, newlyweds, struggling, celebrating, married for 40 years... something for everyone. Very encouraging.

This book helped our relationship thrive!

it was fantastic! We'll definitely listen to it again. Before we listened to this book we were arguing multiple times per week for hours sometimes. Now that we've listened to it we actually are more graceful, empathetic and caring towards one another. I recommend it!!!

I am blown away by the truth and vulnerability of this book. Debra has so much experience and wisdom on this subject and I am so blessed by her work.

I plead for everyone to read this book whether your single or many years down the road in your marriage. There is always room to make God bigger and choose marriage. I’m recommending this to ALL o my friends. Thank you so much, Debra.
