What does God really say about marriage?
This book takes that question seriously—and offers clear, encouraging, and deeply practical answers.

In For Better or for Best, Tom and Alane Waters share their journey from heartache to healing as they discovered the life-changing principles of God’s Word that revived their love, communication, and unity. With openness and honesty, they explore both the struggles and the joys of married life, showing how God’s design can bring lasting happiness to any couple willing to follow His plan.

This book asks the real questions:

• Is your marriage vibrant and growing better?

• Or is it drifting, cooling, or weighed down by unresolved conflict?

• Do you find it difficult to love your spouse when life becomes challenging?

• Do you wonder whether God can restore what feels broken or distant?

Through biblical insights, personal stories, and practical “how-to” guidance, this book shows how God can reverse destructive cycles of miscommunication and replace them with understanding, compassion, and genuine connection.

You’ll discover:

• What Scripture teaches about the purpose of marriage

• How surrendering self opens the door to healing

• How to communicate in a way that builds trust

• Why forgiveness is essential for growth

• How God’s unconditional love becomes the model for loving your spouse

• Practical steps to strengthen—or rescue—your marriage
