Before & Forever

Building a covenant marriage at every stage · by Larry & Blanca Garza

What you are holding is not a collection of ideas studied from a distance. It is the testimony of two people who have walked through the fire of real covenant life and discovered that God is faithful in every single season of it.

Blanca and I did not enter marriage with all the answers. We entered it with love, with faith, and with a great deal we still needed to learn. God, in His patient and generous way, has used the daily realities of our life together to reveal Himself to us in ways we never could have encountered alone.
