Publisher Description
Divorce is not the biggest threat to marriage. Discouragement is.
You’ve probably heard the grim facts: Half of all marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate inside the church is the same as outside. And, most marriages are just holding on. But what if these “facts” are actually myths?
In The Good News About Marriage, best-selling author Shaunti Feldhahn presents groundbreaking research that reveals the shocking, incredibly inspiring truth:
- The actual divorce rate has never gotten close to 50 percent.
- Those who attend church regularly have a significantly lower divorce rate than those who don’t.
- Most marriages are happy.
- Simple changes make a big difference in most marriage problems.
- Most remarriages succeed.
For too long, our confidence in marriage has been undermined by persistent misunderstandings and imperfect data. This landmark audio book will radically change how we think and talk about marriage — and what we can dare to hope from it.

“Shaunti
Feldhahn presents her work with the relaxed confidence of an experienced
speaker. With perky pacing and true-believer enthusiasm, she’s a wonderful
ambassador for the values behind her Christian perspective on marriage. With
concise references to published research, she and her coauthor make the point
that couples are much more likely to stay together when they go to the same
church, pray together, and explicitly give their lives over to the plan God has
for them. Yet her language and tone sound secular and will be appreciated by a
diverse population. She effectively makes the point that you can create a more
satisfying marriage when you get past your day-to-day frustrations and believe
in something bigger than yourself—your commitment to another person.”—
