Marriage: The Story Of Love and Romance In The Midst of War

When two people come together in a wedding ceremony, they are committing to abandoning themselves to one another, throw caution to the wind, forsake independence, isolation, and all others. They vow to each other their undying love. It is risky. Dangerous. Perhaps it could even be called "perfect madness."

Everyone wants love. Everyone is looking for love. Yet few seem to find what they are looking for. And fewer still seem to be able to sustain it.

So begins LOVE & WAR, a new book by John and Stasi Eldredge.

What bestsellers Wild at Heart did for men, and Captivating did for women, LOVE & WAR will do for married couples everywhere as the Eldredges turn their focus to the incredible dynamic between men and women in marriage.

With refreshing openness that will grab your attention from the first page, the Eldredges candidly discuss their own marriage and the wise insights they’ve gained from the challenges they have faced through 23 years of marriage.

Each shares independently about what they’ve learned, giving their guidance personal immediacy and a balance between the male and female perspectives that has been absent from many previous books on this topic.

LOVE & WAR shows couples how to fight for their love and happiness, calling men and women to step into the great adventure God has waiting for them together. Walking alongside John and Stasi Eldredge, every couple can discover how their individual journeys are growing into a story of meaning much greater than ANYTHING they could do or be on their own.

“John and Stasi Eldredge lead us into the heart of marriage... not as we always dreamed it would be, but as it really is... a relationship between two flawed individuals who are discovering together that marriage is difficult. Their willingness to speak honestly about their relationship proves their point... that “loving costs everything but loving is always worth it.” If you are willing to fight for the love and happiness God intended your marriage to provide, every chapter of Love & War will cheer you on!” -- Dr. David Jeremiah, Author/Speaker/Pastor
