Your Marriage Masterpiece: Transform Your Relationship Through God's Amazing Design (Focus on the Family Marriage) - Softcover

A Life-Changing Picture of Marriage

God created marriage as a beautiful work of art that reflects His glory to the world. But our culture has undervalued and misunderstood it, causing it to lose its luster. Like restoration projects on the Sistine Chapel or the Mona Lisa, it is time to return marriage to its former glory by taking a closer look at what the artist had in mind all along.

Al Janssen weaves real-life stories with great teaching and biblical narratives to paint a complete picture of all your marriage can be. With its focus on passion, adventure, and commitment, Your Marriage Masterpiece will help you discover new ways to reflect God's love--revealing His plan for you from the moment you were born. Includes a study guide for personal reflection or group discussion.

Your Marriage Masterpiece is a companion resource to Focus on the Family's DVD experience, The Family Project. Learn more at familyproject.com.

"For decades our society has fostered a 'low view' of marriage and easy divorce. With Your Marriage Masterpiece, Al Janssen makes a compelling case for the sacredness and permanence God intended for this unique relationship.

This is exactly the kind of 'high view' of marriage that is needed in the church and in our culture today!"--Bill McCartney, founder, Promise Keepers
