Marriage is great, but it’s not forever. It’s until death do us part. Then come eternal rewards or regrets depending on how we spent our lives. In his latest book, Francis Chan joins together with his wife Lisa to address the question many couples wonder at the altar: “How do I have a healthy marriage?” Setting aside typical topics on marriage, Francis and Lisa dive into Scripture to understand what it means to have a relationship that satisfies the deepest parts of our souls. In the same way Crazy Love changed the way we saw our personal relationship with God, You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity will radically shift the way we see one of the most important relationships in our life. Jesus was right. We have it all backwards. The way to have a great marriage is by not focusing on marriage. Whether you are single, dating or married, You and Me Forever will help you discover the adventure that you were made for and learn how to thrive in it. 100% of the net proceeds from this book will support various ministries including those that help provide shelter and rehabilitation for thousands of children and exploited women around the world.

This book is not for those who want a quick fix to deep-rooted issues of the heart. I share the struggles and difficulties of my marriages through the view mirror of God's divine grace. It was not until I surrendered myself to Christ and allowed His Holy Spirit to work on the deep issues of my heart, that I was able to see God work His power in and through me. Do you want to know how to stay married forever? My husband and I are still married today because we desire to live under the will of God and that takes deep surrender. If you just want a read that makes you feel good but do not real good in your heart for the Lord, then this book is not for you. This book is for those who are willing to allow God to unveil all that He needs to unveil for you to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Marriage was created by God to be a forever one-flesh union. It is where we learn forgiveness, grace, and mercy. It is where we become a team and build a legacy for the children born within the marriage. It was never intended to be a means of self-gratification, it was intended to be a tool for sanctification. Marriage was intended to be a real-life representation of the Gospel of Christ and His love and relationship with the church. Marriage was intended to make two different and unique people into one spiritual union. Marriage was intended to be a forever commitment where the husband and wife are constantly assisting each other in becoming all that God has created them to be. In the unique roles God has given the husband and wife, an orderly and cooperative union, creates blessings to all those it touches. In this book, you will find the encouragement to achieve a forever marriage as husband and wife. You will learn that everything can be forgiven when we choose to forgive and that love never fails. True love goes the forever distance. "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Genesis 2:24.

Seven essays celebrating the beauty of the imperfect marriage. We hear plenty about whether or not to get married, but much less about what it takes to stay married. Clichés around marriage—eternal bliss, domestic harmony, soul mates—leave out the real stuff. After marriage you may still want to sleep with other people. Sometimes your partner will bore the hell out of you. And when stuck paying for your spouse’s mistakes, you might miss being single. In Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give, Ada Calhoun presents an unflinching but also loving portrait of her own marriage, opening a long-overdue conversation about the institution as it truly is: not the happy ending of a love story or a relic doomed by high divorce rates, but the beginning of a challenging new chapter of which “the first twenty years are the hardest.” Calhoun’s funny, poignant personal essays explore the bedrooms of modern coupledom for a nuanced discussion of infidelity, existential anxiety, and the many other obstacles to staying together. Both realistic and openhearted, Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give offers a refreshing new way to think about marriage as a brave, tough, creative decision to stay with another person for the rest of your life. “What a burden,” Calhoun calls marriage, “and what a gift.”
