What people are saying about Thriving Marriage:

Mark and Bethany are passionate about marriage and the family. Yet they know that instant perfection is impossible; we've got to work on our marriages! Here is a biblical and eminently practical workbook designed to strengthen marriages and families, keyed to their podcast. Highly recommended!

- Drs. Andreas and Marny Köstenberger, Authors of Equipping for Life, Parenting Essentials, and God’s Design for Man & Woman

Marriage is hard work—and that’s why this book, Thriving Marriage, is a breath of fresh ocean air. We sometimes feel shame in admitting that our marriages need work, but Mark and Bethany helpfully remind us that the quest for change is the very path of life. They don't leave things undefined, as we Christians tend to do with sticky subjects. They get into the nitty-gritty stuff of marriage: dirty socks; zoned-out providers; hyper-communicative questioners; the flowing fountain of forgiveness opened to us by the cross of Christ. Thriving Marriage brings all this together and applies biblical truth to real life. It is an excellent resource for couples at any stage of their covenantal journey together.

-Dr. Owen Strachan, Coauthor, The Grand Design and Coeditor, Designed for Joy

Marriage, as designed by God, is the foundational institution upon which strong families, churches, and societies are built. Yet for many couples, the reality of their marriage may fall short of the joy, strength, and unity God intends. Thriving Marriage is a timely and biblically grounded resource that speaks directly to that need. Mark and Bethany Kelley have crafted a workbook that is both practical and deeply rooted in Scripture—one that God can use to restore struggling marriages and enrich even the strongest ones.
