Publisher's summary
You’ve spent months planning your wedding. Now what about the rest of your life?
Marriage is one of the most important commitments into which you will ever enter. If you and your fiancé are Christ-followers, it makes sense to know what God's design for marriage looks like and to create a relationship that honors him.
Beyond the Celebration will lead every couple through the essential steps of planning a life-long marriage. From questions to ask prior to the ceremony to life-tested techniques guiding you through the years to come, this book is the essential pre-marital guidebook.
Authors Jerry McColgin and Lou Rodriguez have worked with hundreds of couples both through pre-marital counseling and post-marital support. They’ve incorporated wisdom gained from these couples’ struggles as well as joy in their triumphs. Jerry and Lou also impart lessons from each of their 30-plus years of marriage.
Your wedding day is just the beginning. Your marriage should get better every day from there!

Great marriages don't just happen - they're made, intentionally, day by day. Yet most of us enter the covenant of marriage thinking that the role of spouse will be easy, natural, effortless. Rarely is this true. In fact, the number one cause of divorce isn't adultery or finances or disagreements. It's apathy - a lack of intentional emotional, physical, and mental investment in the relationship.

For the first time in history, the average age for an American woman having her first child, 26, is younger than the average age of her first marriage, 27. More children than ever are growing up in fatherless homes, despite the overwhelming evidence that in every measurable way this is bad for the child. The Center for Disease Control also recently reported a dramatic rise in sexually transmitted disease nationwide. In Rhode Island alone, since the onset of online dating, reported cases of Syphilis has risen 79%, and HIV has increased by 33%.

Listeners are encouraged to think beyond finding their “soul mate", an idea that has its roots in the philosophy of Plato, and instead adopt a more biblical search for a “sole mate” - someone who will walk with them on their spiritual journey.

Enter the Ring takes a fresh, powerful, vulnerable approach to marriage by framing it as the fight that it is. The world uses different assaults and tactics to distract us, tempting us to walk away, in order to destroy our marriages. But there is hope: The constant forgiveness, grace, and intervention of God can preserve and protect us from not only the world but also ourselves. D. A. and Elicia Horton explore the tension of two people becoming one and how spouses often fight over which "one of us" they become.
