Description
The Marriage Builder explores the biblical view of marriage and its potential for transformation. According to Larry Crabb, human personality's deepest needs - security and significance - cannot be fully satisfied by a spouse alone.
This understanding frees both partners from relying solely on each other, allowing them to focus on "soul oneness" - a commitment to meet their partner's needs rather than just their own. This, in turn, can lead to renewed "body oneness," where couples experience sexual pleasure as an expression of their personal relationship.
The book identifies three essential building blocks for constructing a healthy marriage: the grace of God, true marriage commitment, and acceptance of one's mate. Discussion questions are included to help couples apply these principles to their own lives and marriages, aiming to transform their relationships from trial to triumph.
