We Still Do Celebrating Lifelong Marriage - Hardcover
Over half of all marriages end in divorce. We hear stories all the time about what went wrong. But how often do we hear about what goes right in the marriages of couples who stay together? Here is a collection of wisdom and insight on what makes a marriage work over the long haul—and what makes couples able to stand up and affirm that “they still do” after all these years. Featuring popular speakers from the “I Still Do” rallies and marriage conferences sponsored by FamilyLife, this upbeat collection will inspire couples everywhere to remain committed to the sacred covenant of marriage. Contributors to We Still Do include: Dennis and Barbara Rainey, Dan Allender, Bob Lepine, Gary and Barbara Rosberg, Joseph Stowell, Rod Cooper, Crawford and Karen Loritts, Tim and Darcy Kimmel, Dr. Gary Chapman, Steve Farrar, Gary Smalley, and many more. Also includes study guide for group or individual use.

About the Author:
From Publishers Weekly:
Dennis Rainey is the executive director and co-founder of FamilyLife and co-hosts the radio program, FamilyLife Today. He is senior editor of the HomeBuilders Couples Series, which has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide, and author ofParenting Today's Adolescent and The Tribute.
Divorce statistics for Christians are just as dismal as they are for the American population at large, motivating some CBA authors to speak out about what makes a marriage last. In We Still Do: Celebrating Lifelong Marriage, well-known CBA authors offer advice on how to be a better half. Most of it is predictable. ("Take turns talking. Practice Listening. Listen to both facts and feelings.") Gary Chapman (not the ex-husband of Amy Grant the other Gary Chapman) recycles old material in "Speaking Love's Languages," while Gary Smalley encourages couples to nip small problems in the bud. Some, but not enough, of the material is surprising, including Tim and Darcy Kimmel's humorous essay on "3-D Sex." The only women contributors are co-authors with their husbands; no woman's voice speaks alone in this collection.
