Psychologist Dr. Robin Smith reveals how to turn vows made at the altar into realistic plans for a long and happy marriage. Dr. Robin Smith advises couples on how to take the wedding vows that were made in earnest and in innocence, to a level where they can be used to build a happy, healthy, satisfying and long-lasting marriage. Lies at the Altar is for couples who are planning marriage, are newly married, or who have been married for years. In Lies at the Altar: The Truth About Great Marriages, Dr. Robin Smith addresses the unspoken needs, unasked questions, outrageous expectations, and hidden agendas that often linger beneath the surface of the wedding vows and appear later to cause power struggles, suffering, and feelings of hopelessness in marriages. Dr. Smith discusses why it's important to have one's "eyes wide open" in a marriage; how to write true vows to live by; and why it's never too late to rewrite your vows. She illustrates her advice with detailed stories from her own life, as well as from couples that she has counseled. And in her inspiring conclusion, she invites couples to light up their lives by acknowledging each other as individuals, each of whom lights a candle, and who lights a third candle which represents "us". Calling "truth" the secret ingredient of great marriages, Dr. Smith teaches individuals and couples how to find the truth within themselves and their partners, whether they are heading to the altar, suffering in an unhappy marriage, divorced, or simply want to bring more satisfaction and intimacy into their relationship.

"Bancroft Prize-winning historian and legal expert Michael Klarman here offers an illuminating and engaging account of modern litigation over same-sex marriage. After looking at the treatment of gays in the decades after World War II and the birth of themodern gay rights movement with the Stonewall Rebellion in 1969, Klarman describes the key legal cases involving gay marriage and the dramatic political backlashes they ignited. He examines the Hawaii Supreme Court's ruling in 1993, which sparked a vast political backlash--with more than 35 states and Congress enacting defense-of-marriage acts--and the Massachusetts decision in Goodridge in 2003, which inspired more than 25 states to adopt constitutional bans on same-sex marriage. Klarman traces this same pattern--court victory followed by dramatic backlash--through cases in Vermont, California, and Iowa, taking the story right up to the present. He also describes some of the collateral political damage caused by court decisions in favor of gay marriage--Iowa judges losing their jobs, Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle losing his seat, and the possibly dispositive impact of gay marriage on the 2004 presidential election. But Klarman also notes several ways in which litigation has accelerated the coming of same-sex marriage: forcing people to discuss the issue, raising the hopes and expectations of gay activists, and making other reforms like civil unions seem more moderate by comparison. In the end, Klarman discusses how gay marriage is likely to evolvein the future, predicts how the U.S. Supreme Court might ultimately resolve the issue, and assesses the costs and benefits of activists' pursuing social reforms such as gay marriage through the courts"--

Are you Seriously Dating or Engaged? Kenady sat behind Damien at their church for several years, not knowing he would one day ask for her hand in marriage. Through personal stories full of honesty, vulnerability, and humor, this couple shares their journey and testimony with others who are thinking about having a godly marriage. Instead of doing things the way the world expects, Damien and Kenady had a heart to do things God’s way, including a covenant not to have sex before marriage. In #CompletelyMarried, you’ll discover: ● How to establish the right boundaries for your relationship ● The crucial importance of vision ● The key requirements in finding the right accountability for your relationship ● How to prepare yourself as husband or wife before “I Do” ● Experience-based tips on practical tasks like shopping for an engagement ring and planning your wedding The reality is that there are plenty of bad examples of marriage out there, whether in the media or in our own families. Damien and Kenady provide a biblically sound blueprint for laying the foundation of your marriage as God intended. If you are tired of seeing or experiencing one failed, purposeless relationship after another, and yearn to understand a better approach, #CompletelyMarried is the book you’ve been waiting for! "From his previous work, #CompletelySingle, to this book in partnership with Kenady, #CompletelyMarried, we get the opportunity to see multiple sides of the spectrum: single (the struggle and the strides), engaged (the hunt and the hard work), and married (the beginning and beyond)... With over twenty-three years of experience in our own marriage, we can affirm that many principles they have shared are the same principles that have kept our marriage flourishing." — Darius and Melba Dunson, Associate Pastors of Victory Church
