LONGWOOD, FL-If your marriage is not delightful or intoxicating, it may be because you don't have a passion for the gospel. Marriage was created to glorify the gospel of Christ, but many couples today struggle with marital discord as a direct result of not following God's way. Darby Livingston, author of The Pursuit of Pleasure in the Pleasure of Another: A Christian Hedonist Guide to a Happy Marriage (paperback, 978-1-60266-202-5; hardcover, 978-1-60266-208-7), shows readers how to get soul-satisfying pleasure from their marriage and glorify God while doing it. Saturated with biblical scholarship and thoughtful, practical ideas for improving a marriage relationship, the book challenges couples to live their marriage God's way.
Culled from experience teaching and preaching to those struggling with marital issues in his church, Livingston offers fresh insights on marriage and on using the Bible effectively in marriage counseling. "In addition to telling couples how to live marriage God's way, this book gets to the motivational level and tells couples why they should want their marriage to be God's way," says Livingston.
As a church planter and elder in a local church, Livingston has witnessed many couples grapple with conflict, depression, anxiety, anger, and addiction. He has witnessed many couples be delivered from their travails through the time-tested method described in his book.
Darby Livingston is the founding pastor and a counselor at Come as You Are Fellowship in Union City, Ohio. He and his wife, Amanda, have five young children.
