The Good News About Marriage: Debunking Discouraging Myths About Marriage and Divorce

Divorce is not the biggest threat to marriage. Discouragement is.

You've probably heard the grim facts: Half of all marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate inside the church is the same as outside. Most marriages are just holding on. But what if these "facts" are actually myths?

In The Good News About Marriage, best-selling author Shaunti Feldhahn presents groundbreaking research that reveals the shocking, incredibly inspiring truth:

• The actual divorce rate has never gotten close to 50 percent.
• Those who attend church regularly have a significantly lower divorce rate than those who don't.
• Most marriages are happy.
• Simple changes make a big difference in most marriage problems.

• Most remarriages succeed.

  For too long, our confidence in marriage has been undermined by persistent misunderstandings and imperfect data. This landmark book will radically change how we think and talk about marriage - and what we can dare to hope from it.
