Strengthen Your Marriage

by Keeping God at the Center

Marriage, like a knot, has to be kept tight. Left to itself, it loosens over time and can completely unravel.

In The Marriage Knot, Ron and Jody Zappia take a practical, God-centered approach to marriage. They talk candidly about communication, sex, conflict resolution, and more. Their book offers real tools to help strengthen your marriage and create a relationship that can endure the pressures that attempt to unravel it.
