Andrew Powell's new book 'MARRIAGE IS' presents a faith-based framework for building strong marriages while addressing the persistent issue of high divorce rates in first-time unions. Drawing from over 15 years of marriage to his wife Ramona and lessons from a previous divorce, Powell challenges modern ideologies that contribute to marital failure and offers readers practical guidance for creating resilient relationships.
The book identifies root causes of failed marriages, including harmful habits and misguided belief systems, while emphasizing that marriage itself is perfect but challenged by unrenewed hearts and minds. Powell guides readers from fragile partnerships to God-centered, thriving unions by replacing deceptive ideologies with Biblical truths. "MARRIAGE IS is not just a book; it's a practical roadmap for anyone serious about building a marriage that lasts," says Andrew Powell. "I wrote this to help couples move beyond fleeting emotions and modern misconceptions toward intentional, knowledge-driven relationships grounded in Biblical principles."
Early readers have praised the book for its accessibility and actionable guidance on essential themes including distinguishing assertiveness from aggression, prioritizing preparation over mere attraction, and embracing personal responsibility in conflicts. The book is designed for singles preparing for marriage, couples seeking to strengthen their bond, and individuals looking for healing after previous failed unions.
Complete with an optional workbook, MARRIAGE IS has already begun to impact couples, marriage counselors, and workshop attendees, helping them apply principles that foster long-term happiness, contentment, and success in relationships. Readers can purchase the book through Amazon.
This publication arrives at a critical time when divorce rates remain concerning and many couples struggle to maintain lasting unions. By offering concrete strategies rooted in faith and personal experience, Powell's work provides an alternative to relationship approaches that prioritize temporary emotions over lasting commitment. The book's impact extends beyond individual couples to potentially influence marriage counseling practices and relationship education programs seeking evidence-based approaches to strengthening unions.
