Real Marriage

More about the book

Most marriage books assume the author did it right, overlook the importance of friendship, and equate “intimacy” with “sex.” This book is different. Pastors Mark and Grace Driscoll candidly share their struggles and healing, emphasizing that the Bible is the ultimate source for guidance. They highlight that friendship is essential to marriage yet challenging to sustain, offering practical advice on making your spouse your best friend. Addressing sex-related issues directly, five chapters tackle questions such as confessing pre-marital sexual sin, having a “work spouse,” and the biblical perspective on masturbation and oral sex. Their honesty and vulnerability make this book feel like a personal counseling session with a couple who won’t shy away from tough topics, responding with wisdom and humility. For those seeking a long-lasting, fulfilling marriage, engaging with this book is essential. Readers are encouraged to wrestle with its content, pray over it, and share it, discovering how God can transform their lives through it. Endorsements from respected figures emphasize its value for anyone married or planning to marry, highlighting its practical, biblical, and healing approach to real marital issues.
