Description
Beyond Compatibility is a primer for engaged and married couples on the development of genuine love that will last a lifetime. It differs from many marriage books in that it moves past mere compatibility in pursuit of the biblical dynamics of enduring love and three-dimensional intimacy capable of withstanding the changes that life deals us all. Compatibilities, preferences, and opinions change with your maturity and the seasons of your life and marriage, but genuine love never fails. Beyond compatibility shows you how to build a self-perpetuating love that will grow in intimacy and intensity for as long as you both shall live!
