Things To Think About

  • A Girl’s Guide to Marrying Well. Most women hope to marry, but for many, it’s not happening like they thought it would. By understanding and embracing God’s design for marriage you have a better shot at not only getting married, but marrying well.
  • A Guy’s Guide to Marrying Well. Increasingly, young men are — as one writer put it — “stumbling on to the altar as if by accident.” This guide is based on a few timeless concepts that we rarely encounter in popular culture but are a proven path to marrying well.
