Can a happy marriage really last a lifetime?One-third of all married couples divorce before their ten-year anniversary. They struggle to overcome unmet expectations, unanticipated conflict, and disagreements about money, sex, children, and more. In this practical and hopeful book, licensed marriage and family therapist Laura Taggart helps young couples stay on the right side of this statistic. Making Love Last guides them to examine their true expectations for marriage, provides six action steps for improving the way they relate, and gives them a new picture of what it means to enjoy marriage for a lifetime. Each chapter includes discussion questions for couples or small groups as well as additional questions for personal reflection."A practical and wise guide on a crucial subject."--John Ortberg, senior pastor of Menlo Church; author of All the Places to Go"Falling in love is easy!
