This guide will help you to work together with your mate or alone if you are single. To prepare yourself, you will set goals and follow the necessary plans you will construct for your present and future. You will establish key points and factors throughout the chapters as you follow the steps we developed. The Marriage Guide is a learning tool that has biblical principles of marriage. It also has different suggestions and scenarios to give you some insight on how circumstances we faced were handled. Working through this book will help you take your marriage or relationship to the next level.<\/p><p>My husband and I decided to write this book in hopes to help others reach their goals in their marriage or relationship. We went through many unsavory circumstances through the course of our marriage, and I cannot help but say that things may have been a lot less complicated if we discussed our short- and long-term goals and written out our marriage plan. Not long ago we sat and talked about how God saved and blessed our marriage during and after the trials and tribulations we faced the first 15 years of our marriage. God put it on our hearts to write a book with a guide to help put and\/or keep you on the right track.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section

This guide will help you to work together with your mate or alone if you are single. To prepare yourself, you will set goals and follow the necessary plans you will construct for your present and future. You will establish key points and factors throughout the chapters as you follow the steps we developed. The Marriage Guide is a learning tool that has biblical principles of marriage. It also has different suggestions and scenarios to give you some insight on how circumstances we faced were handled. Working through this book will help you take your marriage or relationship to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>My husband and I decided to write this book with hope to help others reach their goals in their marriage or relationship. We went through many unsavory circumstances through the course of our marriage, and I cannot help but say that things may have been a lot less complicated if we discussed our short- and long-term goals and written out our marriage plan. Not long ago we sat and talked about how God saved and blessed our marriage during and after the trials and tribulations we faced the first 15 years of our marriage. God put it on our hearts to write a book with a guide and outline of a marriage plan to help put and\/or keep you on the right track. At the end of the Marriage Guide, you will have all that you need to complete your very own marriage plan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6535a9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6535a9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Books The Marriage Guide \u2013 God Ordains It, You Establish It Book Was Released May, 2022By Minister Walter Carter, Sr. and Award Winning Author Valecia\u00a0CarterCertified Marriage &amp; Relationship Educators\/Motivational Speakers The Marriage Guide is for those who are married, engaged, and couples who aspire to be married.
