Have you ever wondered how God sees your marriage and what He would say about it? If you read the Bible carefully, you will discover how God describes a variety of marriages. There's a reason He shares these marriages in detail, including some marriages that are good, some that are dysfunctional, and some that are spiteful. Marriages in the Bible, the sixth offering from Gary H. Lovejoy, Ph.D., reveals God's perspective on biblical marriages so listeners may discover the essential ingredients for happy, fulfilling, lasting unions as God intended—and how to identify ways to shipwreck them!

Sexual intimacy can be experienced as a pleasant pastime, a physical need, a reward, a threat, a bargaining chip, a source of frustration, a well of shame—even a necessary evil. Far less understood is its potential to be something much more: a source of deep joy, spiritual transcendence, and communion with another soul. In a society drawn to quick fixes and surface-level advice, That We Might Have Joy offers something deeper—an honest look at how sexual intimacy acts as both diagnosis and cure for what ails modern marriage.

Relationships can feel like a constant struggle. How can we recognize and overcome behaviors that leave us wounded, broken, and exhausted? One Choice Away from Change helps us identify dysfunctional life patterns that cause us to repeat the same mistakes in relationships, fall into the same bad habits at work, or argue about the same things with those we love. Through biblical examples and illustrations from their own redemptive story, Justin and Trisha Davis help listeners identify unhealthy relational patterns that keep them from experiencing the joy and freedom God has for them.
