Synopsis

Advised by both tellers of fairy tales and harbingers of doom, many engaged couples simply don't know what to expect from marriage, so they focus their anxious energies on the wedding day. Rob Green, a pastor, counselor, and veteran of many premarital counseling sessions, shares that the joy, fun, companionship, and love couples hope for before marriage are not only possible, they are actually God's plan for marriage. But none of these wonderful things happen automatically when you tie the knot. A strong and satisfying marriage must be intentionally built on Jesus.

Tying the Knot offers soon-to-be-married couples a practical vision of Christ-centered marriage that is realistic, hopeful, and actionable. This nine-session study guides couples through issues like conflict, expectations, communication, finances, and intimacy, showing how each can be successfully resolved with Christ at the center of the marriage.

Knowing the stresses and needs of a couple in their season of engagement, Green has helpfully designed the study to require a manageable (and healthy) 60 minutes of at-home work per session, with questions and exercises to build communication and intimacy at the end of each chapter. Tying the Knot also includes an appendix for mentors, making it easy for a married couple, lay leader, or counselor to lead an engaged couple through the book.

Field-tested and recommended by multiple counselors in a thriving counseling practice, Tying the Knot has already guided many couples into a stronger and more joyful union. Let this nine-week pre-marriage study reorient your life and marriage around Christ, so you both will experience all the blessings of marriage as God designed it.

Such a good book to read and walk through before marriage! It is so grounded in Christ as the foundation for everything. Some weird questions at the end of chapters are the only downside.......more

A complete guide to premarital counseling with Christ at the center! Before anyone asks, no I'm not getting married. As silly as this will sound, I didn't realize this was a premarital counseling book. (Um yes, hello Emilie can you read?) I realize now it says that right on the cover but you guys kn......more

Goodreads review by Naomi on September 28, 2020

Read this book for pre-marital counseling. It has some good aspects and points for problem solving and communication, but other parts as far as roles and expectations, being loving, being a part of a church, etc. were pretty shallow and presented no new information. They also did not provide good re......more

I really enjoyed this book and will use it in loving Kade well. However, some of the topics seemed glazed over and I would have loved more details instead of a summary. I realize marriage will look different for all, and I enjoyed just knowing the easy ways to put Kade first instead of myself.......more
