As the title suggests, this brief, six-chapter book by popular author James W. Moore was written for the purpose of celebrating the gift of marriage. It provides marital inspiration and encouragement for all married and soon-to-be married couples. Through this book the author aims to help couples strengthen their marriage; to improve their communication with each other; to cherish each other and to honor their marital commitment; and to always keep Jesus Christ at the center of their union, uniting and sustaining their hearts in Christian love. Moore provides scriptural guidance and practical advice as he helps readers look at the characteristics of a successful marriage, as well as attitudes and actions to avoid. The book also contains a study guide that includes discussion / reflection questions for couples.

The two authors of this book, Linda Grenz and Del Glover, say at the outset that they are ordinary Christians writing for ordinary Christians and ordinary congregations. So why has this book become a classic for couples about to marry, couples already married, and the congregations that support them? Because they approach the ordinary issues couples face in marriage from the life-experience perspectives of an Episcopal priest (Linda) and a former corporate executive (Del) who worked with people as they faced various family-related issues. They invite readers to use the book in ways that speak most directly to them and offer questions for the couple to discuss and others that engage a congregation. The book is interspersed with relevant quotes from scripture with probing questions for the individual to consider.
