The Marriage You Want, Moving Beyond Stereotypes for a Relationship Built on Scripture, New Data, and Emotional Health

Using new research, the experts behind the Bare Marriage blog and podcast offer real-world, evidence-based solutions to the most common relationship issues to help you grow in intimacy and build the emotionally healthy partnership you're looking for.

We all want a marriage that feels like home. We long for a partner who is there for us through all of life's challenges and griefs, who is in on all our inside jokes, who delights in the family we've built together, who looks with hope toward the future with a shared faith and an arm firmly around our shoulders. But how do we get there? What actually works in the real world and honours the picture of marriage found in Scripture?

Based on the findings of their meticulous research, Sheila Wray Gregoire and Dr. Keith Gregoire dispel the pervasive myths about what makes a happy marriage. Rather than relying on gender stereotypes, they look at what actually creates intimacy, emotional health, and connection, asking deeper questions that lead to real healing and growth in your relationship with your spouse.

With enlightening stories, survey results, and practical tools, Marriage You Want will help readers create a marriage they love. And with the evidence-based, Scripture-honouring advice in this book, that just may be closer than you imagine.
