Marriage Under Renovation: A Gospel-Centered Guide for Couples Who Love Each Other but Keep Stepping on the Same Rake

You love each other-but somehow you keep stepping on the same rake. Marriage Under Renovation is a practical, gospel-centered guide for couples who want to move beyond recurring conflict and build a more truthful, gracious, and resilient marriage. Through memorable renovation stories, careful biblical teaching, gentle humor, and useful exercises, Justin K. helps readers look beneath surface problems and address the heart, habits, and pressures shaping life together. Inside, couples will learn to: - identify pride, hidden expectations, and recurring conflict patterns;- listen carefully, speak truthfully, confess specifically, and forgive wisely;- restore friendship, tenderness, trust, and shared delight;- handle chores, money, family boundaries, and heavy seasons with greater unity;- navigate parenting, transitions, and blended-family challenges with patience;- practice concrete tools, seven-day exercises, reflection questions, Scripture memory, and prayer.This book does not offer quick fixes or pretend that every marriage problem can be solved privately. Instead, it points couples toward Scripture as the blueprint, Christ as the foundation, grace as the power for change, and wise outside help when the work exceeds their skill.
