Ten Principles for a Successful Marriage : Practical Lessons from the Ten Commandments

Nearly everyone has heard of the Ten Commandments. Most people can even name a few of them. For fifty-five years Mac and Amy McNair have used the commandments to establish the basic guidelines for their own marriage. In Ten Principles for a Successful Marriage they share these principles and illustrate them with personal stories from their own marriage as well as from couples they have counseled.

While at first these insights may seem like nothing more than common courtesy—or for that matter just plain common sense—the McNairs acknowledge them as the foundation on which their long-lived marriage is built, and they firmly believe that other couples can strengthen their marriages by following these ten biblically-based principles.

"Ten Principles for a Successful Marriage is a masterpiece. We use it in answering the many letters and phone calls we receive from troubled couples." —Ruth Stafford Peale, Co-founder, Publisher, and Chairman of the Board, Guideposts
