If yours could be the ideal marriage, what would it look like Would it be one where hearts are open Where faith is shared, personal growth is encouraged, dreams are nurtured, individual strengths are appreciated, romance flourishes, and even fights lead to deeper care and understanding.

You can have such a marriage … when you build it on wisdom. Meditations on Proverbs for Couples imparts choice gems from the richest treasury of practical wisdom ever known–the book of Proverbs. You and your mate will gain insights that can help you make your marriage a source of deep satisfaction and fruitfulness.

In these thirty-one meditations by marriage experts Les and Leslie Parrott, you’ll explore the Bible’s books of ancient wisdom to uncover thoroughly modern perspectives on communication, money, sex, commitment, recreation, anger, forgiveness, praise, humility, conflict, and more. The Parrotts share refreshing, down-to-earth reflections, brought home by candid vignettes from their own marriage and other true-life examples. Each meditation includes questions you can reflect on by yourself or discuss with your mate.

The wise sayings of Proverbs must be talked about, say the Parrotts. Read them aloud together. Commit a few to memory. And fill you marriage with wise and good conversation. It’s a great way to join hearts and minds–as together you lay wisdom for the foundation of a strong, happy relationship.
