A Bible-Based, Dual-Track Guide to Building a Marriage That Lasts. Marriage was God’s idea, and He didn't leave us without instructions. In The Wise Masterbuilder , Pastor Toby Geren invites couples to sit on the front porch with Thomas and Mary—wise mentors who have weathered the storms of life—and learn how to build a home according to the Grammatical-Historical interpretation of Scripture. Whether you are preparing for your wedding day or looking to repair a relationship that feels worn out, this book offers a unique Dual-Track System that meets you where you are. WHAT IS THE DUAL-TRACK SYSTEM? Track A (The Blueprint): Designed for engaged couples. You will learn to draw the plans, set expectations, and "leave and cleave" before the pressure is on. - Track B (The Renovation): Designed for married couples. You will learn to identify "cracks" in the foundation, clear out bitterness, and reinforce your union. INSIDE THIS WORKBOOK, YOU WILL DISCOVER: The True Meaning of Headship: Why biblical leadership isn't a crown of authority, but a "crown of thorns"—a call to be the first to die to self. - The Difference Between Love and Charity: Why "falling in love" is a myth, and how to "put on" Charity when the feelings fade. - The "Storm Shutters" Strategy: How to safeguard your marriage against infidelity and drift before the rain starts. - The Stewardship of "Us": Practical tools for merging finances, managing debt, and giving as a team. - The Legacy Vision: Moving beyond companionship to see your children as "arrows" designed to impact the Kingdom. INCLUDES PRACTICAL TOOLS: This is not just a theory book; it is a tool belt. It includes the Decision Making Matrix , The "Fighting Fair" Rules , The Biblical Budget Worksheet , and the Safeguarding Pledge . Based entirely on the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible.
