“I have fully submitted myself to God, presented myself as an empty, willing vessel for Him to use. And that is how He uses me. Writing is my ministry; it is my service to Jesus.” ~Stephanie A.

INTRODUCTION
Whether you are about to get married, have been married for years or hope someday to get married, this book can help you build a marriage that is solid and sure. Within these pages are seven simple steps that will help your marriage grow stronger based on the marriage that God wants you to have.
I am not a counselor or minister, but God placed this book on my heart and He has guided me as I have written these words. I always say, God writes the books, I just hold the pen.
I wrestled with Him on this one because I did not feel qualified, but He is more than qualified and He gave me the words so here they are.
I hope you enjoy this book and you find things within it that resonate with you wherever you are in life. The simple fact that I am writing this book and you are reading it means that there is something here just for you.
