Summary

Love Never Ends offers couples ways to strengthen their marriages through their faith and to deepen their faith through their marriages. Jeanette and Robert Lauer write from a biblical perspective to affirm marriage as one of God's good gifts. In ten chapters, the Lauers show ways to strengthen one's relationship with God and the relationship with one's marriage partner. Each chapter includes a section titled "Face to Face" with ideas for couples to ponder together, guidance for creating a couples' journal, and a prayer to pray together. Each day's devotional invites couples to share deeply and intimately and to communicate with each other and with God.

As couples read the book and engage in the exercises, they will sharpen different marital and spiritual skills. They will also grow in their understanding of Christian love and will practice mutual instruction in spiritual matters. Love Never Ends will help married couples learn to increase the number of joyous marital and spiritual experiences in their lives.
