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.

You never expected to be asking this question.
After betrayal, broken trust, or deep relational harm, everything feels uncertain—your marriage, your faith, and even your sense of direction. You’re left wondering what faithfulness looks like now.
Should we stay together… or not?
This book will not pressure you to save your marriage.
It will not rush you toward divorce.
And it will not offer shallow spiritual answers that ignore real pain.
Should We Stay Together? is a biblically grounded, trauma-aware guide designed to help you regain clarity and discern your next step with wisdom and integrity.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
• Understand why betrayal affects your emotions, body, and faith so deeply
• Distinguish normal marital struggles from covenant-threatening harm
• Clarify what Scripture actually teaches about adultery, abandonment, abuse, and repentance
• Discern when restoration may be possible—and when release may be wise
• Move forward without fear, pressure, or spiritual guilt
This book doesn’t promise a specific outcome for your marriage.
It promises something better.
Clarity without pressure.
Wisdom without shame.
A path forward rooted in God’s compassion and truth.
If you’re standing at a crossroads and don’t know what to do next, this is a safe place to begin.

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.
