About this ebook
The longer I’m married, the more I study the Bible, and the further I read the research of counselors and psychologists, the deeper I realize there is a remarkable amount of wisdom to be gained from each source. What’s even more amazing is the extent to which they agree with each other.
WisdomBuilt: The Biblical Principles of Marriage combines wisdom from the Bible, clinical research, and personal experience to show couples how to build a great marriage, and provides congregational leaders a practical plan for helping the couples in their care. The result is an accessible, easy-to-follow curriculum that may be used in couples classes, sermon series, seminars, or retreats. It also may be used in counseling and private conversations, or by the couples themselves.
WisdomBuilt presents twelve principles for a joyful, fulfilling marriage, drawing from all three sources of wisdom. Taking a very practical approach, the author shows the reader what works and what doesn’t, what’s biblical and what isn’t, what makes sense and what doesn’t. Because it draws from the three sources of wisdom, it is part Bible study, part counseling, and part storytelling. Easy to read and follow, readers will find it to be the most interesting and helpful book on marriage they’ve ever seen.
The theme verses for the book are Proverbs 24:3-4: “By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.” The manuscript begins with a preface, followed by a brief presentation of six foundational beliefs. Then there are four sections on the Biblical Principles of Marriage, each part containing three principles. By putting the twelve principles into action, couples will experience joy, success, and fulfillment, paving the way for their marriage to last a lifetime.
