Why is that? After the vows explores what typically happens after we say “I do.” This book will provide guidance and advice that will help couples look a little deeper into their relationships and do the necessary work it takes to change the outcome. After the vows combines a wealth of Christian principles and wisdom to overcome getting stuck in a relationship rut. Through self-reflection, exercises on finances, intimacy, sex, and communication we hope that this book will inspire all couples to have a victorious marriage.

In his first release since the best-selling There is More to the Secret, Ed Gungor challenges the church to return to authenticity and community. Over and over again in scripture Christians are encouraged to "make vows to the Lord" (e.g., Psalm 76:11). Is it possible that making vows-- intentionally inserting various Christian practices into our lives-- would have great value to 21st-century Christians? What if we thoughtfully and publicly articulated vows before God and those we love? Would it help our lives take on the tone of the eternal? Has something been lost in the openness of the 21st century? The answer is yes! Gungor says: "Vow-making is an old trail that was very familiar to the ancients who have gone before us, but is virtually unknown for we moderns. As I have wandered down this path, it has been both intriguing and empowering, and, on another level, just plain dangerous. But I really think it's leading somewhere. That's the why of this writing."
