Your marriage is worth fighting for. And it begins with a choice.
Choosing Your Marriage is a biblically grounded invitation to choose, reflect, and have faith that your marriage can work according to God's design. Every day, we're either moving toward a healthy marriage or toward a destructive one.
Christopher and Celinda Jooste have walked through what many couples choose to walk away from: addiction, betrayal, miscarriage, financial hardship, and standing on the edge of divorce. They know what it feels like when hopelessness seems louder than prayer, when love feels more like a memory than a reality, and when the weight of broken trust makes restoration seem impossible. Through these seasons, they discovered that no amount of counseling, willpower, or self-help could restore what only God can heal.
This book isn't theory. It's testimony. It's the raw, honest account of two people who were broken, but chose to surrender their pride, embrace forgiveness, and allow God to breathe life into what looked like ashes. Written from the perspective of "we," every chapter reflects their shared journey - their victories, their failures, and the lessons God taught them along the way.
With practical wisdom rooted in Scripture, Choosing Your Marriage addresses the real issues that pull marriages apart - selfishness, unforgiveness, lost vision, broken intimacy, and the slow drift of two people living parallel lives. It calls couples back to God's original design for marriage as a covenant, not a contract.
Inside you'll discover how to build one vision and one voice in your marriage, God's design for intimacy and unity, how to recognize and overcome pride and selfishness, why forgiveness isn't optional but essential for healing and restoration, and how to intentionally choose your marriage every single day.
Whether your marriage is thriving, surviving, or barely holding on, this book is an invitation - to healing, to purpose, and to the kind of love that only God can sustain.
Saying "I do" means choosing your marriage every day, not only on the day you stood at the altar.
