"It's just not working. Our lives are full, but our marriage is empty."

Statements like this are becoming increasingly common among Christian couples today. Studies have shown that the rate of divorce is the same for both Christians and non-Christians, proving that often the Christian life makes little or no difference in martial satisfaction and longevity. Many Christian couples share a love for God but spend little time growing the love He has given them for each other.
