All marriages face seasons of distress and frustration–times when thanks to a variety of factors you don’t feel as close as you once were. Bestselling author and longtime FamilyLife Today cohost Bob Lepine helps you work through the challenges that emerge in every marriage, causing couples to become isolated and alienated. He helps you make the adjustments necessary to build the kind of marriage God intends for you to have and encourages you back on the path to oneness.

Lepine maps out this path to oneness by first helping you and your spouse uncover how your motivations and expectations about marriage, childhood hardship or family of origin issues, guilt, shame, or unaddressed relational wounds can impact a marriage relationship. Seeing marriage from God’s point of view is the path to oneness. You will be able to trade blame, dissatisfaction, and disappointment for a stronger, richer, and more rewarding relationship. Each chapter ends with a simple assignment that will help you get on and stay on the path to oneness. There is hope for your marriage! God is on this journey with you!
