Why does your marriage feel stuck — even when you're both trying?
Most couples don't lack effort. They lack a map. They're arguing about dishes when the real issue is disconnection. They're working on communication when the deeper wound is fear of abandonment. Generic advice doesn't help because your marriage isn't generic.
Flourishing in Christian Marriage gives you a better lens. Drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory, and a robust biblical theology of covenant, Wade Arnold — licensed psychologist, ordained minister, adn couples coach — helps you understand what's actually happening beneath the surface of your relationship. Not just what you fight about, but why. Not just how to manage conflict, but how to move toward the kind of emotional security and spiritual intimacy God designed marriage to produce.
This book is short by design. Most couples can read it cover to cover in under two hours. You'll take an attachment style assessment, identify your patterns and your spouse's, and walk away with practical, personalized guidance based on how your two styles interact — not a one-size-fits-all formula that fits no one.
God didn't create you to manage your marriage. He created you to flourish in it.
This is where you start.

Wade Arnold, PhD, MDiv is The Christian Marraige Mentor, a licensed clinical psychologist, ordained minister with over two decades of experience helping Christian couples build emotionally connected, spiritually grounded relationships.
You share a home, a faith, and a life—but when did you last have a conversation that went beyond schedules, chores, and surface-level small talk?
Life moves fast. Between careers, children, church commitments, and the constant pull of screens and notifications, it is all too easy for Christian couples to find themselves living parallel lives rather than truly shared ones. You may be physically close—but spiritually, emotionally, and conversationally distant.
Flourishing Together is the remedy.
Written by licensed clinical psychologist and ordained pastor-scholar Wade Arnold, Flourishing Together gives you 365 carefully crafted conversation starters—one for every day of the year—organized into 52 weekly themes. Each question is designed to move you past the ordinary and into the extraordinary: honest, vulnerable, faith-deepening dialogue that draws you closer to each other and to God.
This book was written for you—wherever you are in your marriage:
• Newlyweds wanting to build a spiritually intimate foundation from the start
• Long-married couples who want to break out of communication ruts and discover new depth
• Engaged couples preparing for a lifetime of spiritual partnership
• Ministry leaders and counselors seeking a resource for marriage enrichment groups
• Any couple who wants their relationship to more fully reflect biblical principles
You don’t need perfect marriages or theological degrees. You simply need a willingness to show up—honest, present, and open to each other.
Wade Arnold brings the rare combination of a PhD in Counseling Psychology and an MDiv in Theology to every page. His approach is straightforward: Jesus + Psychology = Practical Wisdom. These questions aren’t generic icebreakers. They are clinically informed, biblically grounded, and designed to reach the conversations couples most need to have—about calling, forgiveness, fear, intimacy, faith, and the future.
Use it as a daily devotional over morning coffee, as weekly date-night conversation fuel, or as a marriage enrichment tool for small groups and premarital counseling. However you engage it, the goal is the same: deeper connection with each other and with God.
Marriage is one of God’s most profound gifts—a living picture of Christ’s relationship with the Church. But even the healthiest marriages require intentional investment. The couple who talks together, grows together.
Flourishing Together gives you the questions. You bring the conversation. Together, you’ll build the kind of marriage worth having.
Start the journey. One question at a time.

Prayers for Your Marriage offers 101 daily prayers designed to invite God into every corner of your relationship — from the ordinary rhythms of daily life to the hardest seasons you'll face together.
Written by a The Christian Marriage Mentor and ordained minister with decades of experience walking alongside couples, these prayers are grounded in Scripture and informed by research on what makes marriages thrive. Each prayer addresses the real challenges couples navigate: conflict and forgiveness, intimacy and distance, parenting and purpose, financial stress and unexpected loss. They are honest prayers — the kind that get to the root of what's actually happening, not just what we wish were true.
You can pray them together. You can pray them alone. Either way, you'll find language for things that are hard to say, and an invitation to something deeper than any technique or strategy can produce.
Marriage doesn't flourish by accident. It flourishes when two people, again and again, bring what they have before the One who holds what they need.
