Wondering how to build a great marriage? Turn to the Bible for guidance--that's where author Dave Earley found his 14 Secrets to a Better Marriage. Now available in a handy paperback format, this book provides principles to help you build a lasting marriage, from "Put God First" to "Love When It Is Difficult." Author of the popular "21 Most" series, Earley says, "Even though I have a degree in counseling and have done my share of marriage counseling, I do not consider myself an expert on marriage. . . . There is only one true expert on marriage--God. He has generously shared His knowledge with us in a book that we refer to as the Bible."
