WHAT CONTRIBUTES TO A SATISFYING RELATIONSHIP?

Getting to Know you AFTER I Say, "I Do" discusses how good marriages don't just happen automatically; they happen when individuals intentionally work on their relationship. When couples first get married, they experience the honeymoon phase that can be a wave of fun and exciting emotions, but couples can come to a major crash when real life sets in. Many factors contribute to a satisfying marriage relationship, but one of the most important factors is having a willingness and an ability to compromise. This book discusses the importance of being in a loving commitment while working toward making it healthy and whole.

Remember, marriage is God's design. God said in Genesis 2:18 that it was not good that man be left alone but that he was going to make him a help meet. Having a solid Christian marriage takes time and attention.
