The Sacred-Driven Couple

In a society where marital and relationship problems are at an epidemic level, this book offers the opportunity to become solution-focused using God's sovereign Word and reputable research data to gain solid answers to relationship issues.  You will also learn key research-based realities regarding marriage and relationships that will enable you to avoid some of the relationship pitfalls that often become stumbling blocks for well-meaning individuals and couples who are searching for fulfilling and loving relationships.  This book is “principle- centered” on the Holy Bible as God's sovereign Word. We will use the results from well-known researchers in the area of marriage and relationship as supplemental data.  The material presented offers a thorough Christian model of marriage and relationship, using core teachings about marriage and relationships from God's sacred Word.  It will also highlight the importance of being principled-centered on God's Word and being open to His revelatory Word known as revealed truths. These truths will lead you to become sacred-driven individuals and partners.  These sacred-driven individuals or couples understand that sound marital research can reveal truths because all truth comes from our Lord.  Through scripture, God reveals the heart and soul of the required attributes and characteristics to be sacred-driven and successful in your special relationships.

I also offer 12 acknowledgements that I believe represent the foundational beliefs required to begin a spiritual pilgrimage to creative and relationship wellness.  This approach connects the sacred and secular in an unorthodox manner because I attempt to creatively marry scripture and research together to provoke cognitive and spiritual growth from a creative and wholistic perspective.  The desire is to present clear truth from scripture and key research findings that can further illuminate patterns associated with marriage and relationships.  These acknowledgements are designed for use in conjunction with the Holy Bible. We realize that the church and society are concerned for all couples, at every stage in their lives.   I offer this book as my effort to plant seeds into the fertile soil of people’s hearts and minds who sincerely want to improve their relationships, but are uncertain regarding the right courses of action to take. Connectedness to God and being sacred driven are essential to healthy relationship building and rebuilding. 

With God’s power, the 12 acknowledgements can become an empowering tool for total relationship enhancement.  This tool can relieve relationship sufferings, produce relationship oneness, and help couples to really know the sovereign God who alone produces sacred-driven couples.

Upon adopting the principles of the 12 acknowledgements, and aligning each principle with God's Word, you will be pre-positioned to experience God's super-natural love and teachings on how to love and establish meaningful and successful sacred-driven relationships.  God wants us to experience His Holy Spirit and to exemplify the fruits of the Spirit in every walk of our lives, especially in our relationships.  All we need is an open mind and willingness to try.  Much of the work is done by God working through us.  We will suddenly notice improvements in ourselves: our awareness, our sensitivity, our ability to love, to give, to understand and to become a partner in a sacred-driven relationship.  We will often be surprised by our own spiritual and emotional growth, and so will everyone else around us.
