My Review:
 You don't have to tell me that marriage is downright hard. My husband and I have been married to each other, with this being our first and last marriage, for 20 years now---it doesn't get easier, but it definitely gets better. We recently the past year as a matter of fact have been working hard on our marriage, not that it was crumbling but there were definite cracks in the road that had went too long without repair. God took this time to walk us through some pretty heavy stuff, stuff that we didn't realize was weighing us down. We believe He did this so that we could shake it off completely and so we could drop it now and forever. And we thank Him everyday that He did this with us and for us. It was an eye-opening experience to say the least!

 Growing A Strong Marriage DVD&Study Guide, is an excellent way to begin the journey of getting back to God and to one another. There are six couples that head up the DVD portion of the program that may look or sound familiar to you and that's because either one or both of the speakers have written well known books that either you have heard of or read throughout the years. This study is Biblical principle at it's best! My husband and I know that without God at our center we are automatically doomed. Our marriage has had it's emotional ups and downs and when it did we were not in a good place with the Lord.

 Along with the DVD portion of the program or study, you can also purchase a study guide that walks you through each session that is a tremendous help. My husband and I did each session and listening to the speakers made it fun, because we knew exactly what they were talking about when they described issues in their own marriages. God should always be who you communicate with throughout the process of rebuilding your marriage, especially if you can no longer communicate with each other. I know in our marriage God is who turned everything around for us. We are thankful everyday for His intervention. He is an awesome Father that wants to see us work everything out, I can attest to that!
