Praise for Marriage
That Doesn't Suck
“Because of these teachings, our lives were changed. We now see our marriage as our highest calling, and for the first time, are experiencing the fruit of walking in agreement.”
G.C.
“The material presented in this book presupposes that you, like us, have come to the end of yourself and want to change habits that do not reflect the character of Christ. No couples need to wait for a crisis to benefit from the Kingdom principles Larry and Susan have offered the Body of Christ. Having learned to walk by faith in God’s wisdom, they have helped numerous couples struggling to align what they believe with their actions. All it takes is God’s grace, the transformative power of the Holy Spirit and our willingness to be changed.”

“The word that comes to us immediately, when thinking about Larry and Susan and their family, is authenticity. They are one of the most authentic couples we have ever met and engaged with over a longer period of time. This genuineness is lived out daily, and visible when one spends about three months of uninterrupted time with them. You can’t fake it over such a period; nothing stays hidden. It is impressive how they honestly live out what they teach, train, and coach others to do.”

“Larry and Susan found biblical, Christ-centered ways of guiding families to health and healing, bringing hope to individuals who had lost hope. Larry and Susan genuinely live what they teach. This book will multiply their God-given wisdom to families around the world.”
