Product Overview
Marriage, according to Scripture, will always involve two flawed people living with each other in a fallen world. Yet, in counselor Paul Tripps professional experience, the majority of couples enter marriage with far different expectations. These unrealistic expectations leave them unprepared for the day-to-day realities of married life.
This unique book introduces a biblical and practical approach to those realities that is rooted in Gods faithfulness and Scriptures teaching on sin and grace. Spouses need to be reconciled to each other and to God on a daily basis, Tripp declares. Since were always sinners married to sinners, reconciliation isnt just the right response in moments of failure. It must be the lifestyle of any healthy marriage.
What Did You Expect? presents six practical commitments that give shape and momentum to such a lifestyle. These commitmentsranging from We will honestly face our sin, weakness, and failure to We will change our agenda and We will protect our relationshipwill equip couples to develop a thriving, grace-based marriage in all circumstances and seasons of their relationship.
