This guide will help you and your spouse recognize the harm caused by sin; learn how forgiveness works; and build patterns of mutual forgiveness, healing and freedom.

In marriage a man and woman are called to leave their families of origin, to weave their separate lives into a unity and to cleave to each other. How can fallen human beings even begin to contemplate this ideal - God's idea?
