Renovating Your Marriage Room by Room

When considering building a home, couples look for the right architect, right builder, and the right decorator to make their dream house a reality. They work with these people to sketch out plans for the structure of the house; determine what materials to use in building the house; and which decorations to use how to make the house warm and cozy. Accomplishing their goal and making sure they get exactly what they are paying for is in part due to everyone working off of the same set of blueprints and plan while they are exercising their unique talents and skills in getting the house completed.

With the same care and even more, couples should invest in building their marital houses. Making sure they are working from the same plan, laying a solid foundation in the process and doing the work needed to keep their house intact and standing strong.

In Renovating Your Marriage, Dr. Johnny Parker speaks to you and your spouse about building a house of togetherness brick by brick from the foundation up.  He encourages you to consider the two possible foundations upon which marriages are built; then walks you through an inspection of your marital house, room by room.

Is your marital house standing on a firm foundation or has it been shaken? Are you in need of a marriage renovation?

Dr. Parker wants to help you answer these questions and make the changes necessary to give your love a new look.

“Our culture has lied to us: romantic love is not a blissfully perfect state of being. Truly loving someone requires sacrifice and involves pain. After the honeymoon, we find out that marriage is not what we expected. It is much more difficult than we ever thought, but it can also be much more wonderful than we ever dreamed.”

Renovating Your Marriage Room by Room peers inside the rooms of married couples’ shared living spaces like we’ve never seen before. Sitting in the living room relaxing and/or watching TV or reading a book is only the beginning of what goes on in that room. Come and explore the rooms of your house as Dr. Johnny C. Parker Jr. takes us on a tour from the foundation to the fence on how God can be glorified in our homes … room by room.
