How do you encourage a couple to live by principles that will create a strong marriage? How do you describe ways to avoid the pitfalls, meet the challenges and enjoy the blessings that a marriage offers? Unless the LORD Builds the House answers these questions by illustrating ten Biblical principles upon which a successful marriage is based. The author equates each principle to a part of a house; and when all the parts are put together, the reader has a marriage "built" by the LORD. This book makes a wonderful gift or can be read as a devotional at a wedding shower, bridal luncheon, or wedding anniversary party. At the end of the book, there is a house image that can be cut apart by principle. As each principle is read, it can be attached to the others, to "build" the house, creating a memorable visual of God's plan for marriage From the Rock upon which the house is built, to the roof that covers it all with love, this devotional creates a beautiful picture of a marriage that will thrive.
