While no-rules-just-freedom approaches to marriage may seem good and fun, the state of marital disarray in society proves otherwise. We need an approach that leads to true freedom. Lasting Love: How to Avoid Marital Failure is biblically-grounded, time-tested advice for how to have a marriage that flourishes.

Closing the gap between principles and practice, Alistair Begg begins with theological foundations and then builds levels of practical application, showing how God's guidelines are for our good. In this comprehensive yet concise book on marriage, you will learn:

• God's design for marriage
• What to look for in a potential spouse
• What marriage vows entail
• The role of husbands, wives and parents
• How to cure and prevent marital decay.
