    About this ebook

    In a world flooded with distresses like divorce, father absence, rampant sexual abuse, anxiety, and depression, there seems to be an epidemic of escapism through drugs, alcohol, consumerism, sex, violence, and suicide.

    What if

    Our differences aren't meant to alienate us

    But they are meant to bring us closer together

    What if

    We discover we're really not that different

    But we all have the same universal needs

    Love, Acceptance, Approval,

    Communication, and Touch

    I Believe

    We can have by cultivation; a deeper spiritual, sexual,

    and emotional intimacy in marriage that evolves

    over the course of a lifetime.

    I Believe

    Life-long marital satisfaction requires that

    two committed people have purposed in their hearts

    to have a great marriage, and never give up

    on the grace of God to see it through.
