Making Your Marriage a Fortress by Gary Thomas

Product Details

About the Book

Every marriage will face disaster. Illness or cancer. Job loss or financial burdens. Addiction. Anxiety. Infidelity. Loss of faith. As bestselling author Gary Thomas puts it, it's not a question of if your marriage will face trials — it's a question of when. In Making Your Marriage a Fortress, Thomas, author of the widely read Sacred Marriage, guides couples in fortifying their relationship ahead of time, so that when hardship inevitably arrives, the marriage becomes a place of refuge and safety rather than another casualty of the storm.

Whether readers have been married five months or fifty years, Thomas argues it is within their power to prepare their marriage for difficult seasons, remain a place of safety throughout them, and recover well once they pass. The book offers practical, actionable principles for strengthening a marriage before crisis hits, teaches couples how to detect early warning signs of trouble and act on them together, and explains how the existing state of a marriage — for better or worse — tends to become magnified under pressure. Drawing on real stories from Thomas's own marriage and others, alongside spiritual insight into God's vision for marriage, the book covers a wide range of real-life challenges, including raising children, in-laws, emotional and physical affairs, the death of a child, career loss, deployment, pornography, and financial hardship, equipping couples to remain committed to one another "for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, till death do you part."

Critical and Reader Reception

Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, authors of Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts, called the book invaluable for every couple serious about enjoying lifelong love, noting that guarding a relationship with intention and cultivating emotional safety allows couples to emerge from hardship saying, "I love you more than I did before." Readers have described the book as enlightening and inspiring, praising how it covers a wide range of real marital stressors and shares stories of couples who overcame or found ways to cope with them, calling it a valuable addition to any married couple's toolbox regardless of how long they've been together.
