Building Unity: A Marriage Workbook Marriage is not built in a single conversation, a single date night, or a single counseling session. It is built through intentional choices, honest communication, mutual respect, emotional connection, and a commitment to grow together. Building Unity is a practical marriage workbook designed to help couples strengthen their relationship both inside and outside of counseling. Created to complement marriage counseling, this workbook gives couples structured activities they can practice between sessions to continue the work at home.
