Building a Joyful Marriage

The path to joy in your marriage is not to manipulate your spouse into doing a better job loving you. Nor is it in grinding out your responsibilities devoid of emotion. Building a Joyful Marriage is a study that shows from God's Word that the path to a God-honoring marriage is the path of esteem, desire, and delight. This series explores:
* the meaning of agape love (which is much more than mere commitment or self-sacrificial service),
* the way to increase your desire for and delight in your spouse (even if your spouse doesn't change)
* why the differing roles in marriage (headship and submission) are so important to joy and to honoring God, and
* how to overcome problems that have plagued your marriage for years.
