IN THE BOOK
THE FOUR FOUNDATIONS
that make marriage thrive:
LOVE THAT CHOOSES DAILY
ONENESS THAT UNITES COMPLETELY
SERVICE THAT GIVES SELFLESSLY
SUBMISSION THAT HONOURS MUTUALLY
THE FOUR LANDMINES
that threaten it:
IN-LAWS AND FAMILY DYNAMICS
CHILDREN AND PARENTING PRESSURES
MONEY AND FINANCIAL STRESS
