Vertical Marriage

The One Secret That Will Change Your Marriage

By: Dave Wilson, Ann Wilson, John Driver, Dennis and Barbara Rainey - introduction

Narrated by: Dave Wilson, Ann Wilson, Dennis Rainey

For anyone who is married, preparing for marriage, or desperate to save a relationship teetering on the brink of divorce, marriage coaches Dave and Ann Wilson offer hope and strategies gleaned from personal experience and Scripture that really work. Vertical Marriage will give you the insight, applications, and inspiration to transform your marriage into everything you hoped it would be.

Honest to the core and laugh-out-loud funny, Dave and Ann Wilson share the one secret that brought them from the brink of divorce to a healthy and vibrant relationship.

If you had asked Dave how their marriage was doing on the night of their tenth wedding anniversary, Dave would have rated it a 9.8 out of 10, and he would have even guaranteed that Ann would say the same. But instead of giving him a celebratory kiss, Ann whispered, "I've lost my feelings for you."

Divorce seemed inevitable for the Wilsons, but starting that night, God began to reveal to Dave and Ann the most overlooked secret of getting the marriage we are looking for: a horizontal marriage relationship just doesn't work until your vertical relationship with Christ is first.

As founders of a multi-campus church and marriage coaches with 30 years of experience, Dave and Ann share the hard-earned but easy-to-apply biblical principles that ensure a strong marriage. Written in a highly relatable dialogue between both husband and wife, Vertical Marriage will guide you toward building a vibrant relationship at every level, giving you the tools you need to embrace:

• Effective communication
• Fair conflict
• True romance
• A deeper connection

Through their unique perspectives, Dave and Ann share an intimate, sometimes hilarious, and at times deeply poignant narrative of one couple's journey to reconnecting with God and discovering the joy and power of a vertical marriage.

Eye Opening

This was so very helpful for me and I hope my fiancé will find it helpful as well.

love the personal stories

we heard about this book at a marriage conference, and instead of buying another paper book, audio was best for travel and workouts.

Inspirational

It’s comforting knowing that I’m/we are not alone when it comes to struggling in our relationship. The emotions are normal..and this book has given me/us Godly solutions. I love the way humor is brought into the story. It’s also great how you hear the wife and husband’s point of view.
I listened by my self first, but have plans to listen together soon. Even if your wife/husband wont listen to this with you, it will help to understand a different point of view. You won’t regret putting the time into listening.
