Publisher Description
Divorce is not the biggest threat to marriage. Discouragement is.
You’ve probably heard the grim facts: Half of all marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate inside the church is the same as outside. And, most marriages are just holding on. But what if these “facts” are actually myths?
In The Good News About Marriage, best-selling author Shaunti Feldhahn presents groundbreaking research that reveals the shocking, incredibly inspiring truth:
- The actual divorce rate has never gotten close to 50 percent.
- Those who attend church regularly have a significantly lower divorce rate than those who don’t.
- Most marriages are happy.
- Simple changes make a big difference in most marriage problems.
- Most remarriages succeed.
For too long, our confidence in marriage has been undermined by persistent misunderstandings and imperfect data. This landmark audio book will radically change how we think and talk about marriage — and what we can dare to hope from it.

“ShauntiFeldhahn presents her work with the relaxed confidence of an experiencedspeaker. With perky pacing and true-believer enthusiasm, she’s a wonderfulambassador for the values behind her Christian perspective on marriage. Withconcise references to published research, she and her coauthor make the pointthat couples are much more likely to stay together when they go to the samechurch, pray together, and explicitly give their lives over to the plan God hasfor them. Yet her language and tone sound secular and will be appreciated by adiverse population. She effectively makes the point that you can create a moresatisfying marriage when you get past your day-to-day frustrations and believein something bigger than yourself—your commitment to another person.”

“In the thirty-two years I have been deeply immersed in the world of marriage ministry, I have been demoralized at times by the negative statistics quoted. And now I am ecstatic as I read the truth in this incredible book. Thank you, Shaunti, for doing the hard work necessary to expose the myths and lies and for finally revealing the facts about marriage. This book and the undeniable research in it is a game changer!”

“This is an important book. Shaunti and Tally do an impressive job of showing that there is room for different viewpoints on divorce statistics and room for optimism about marriage. I believe that people make higher-risk choices partly because they have lost hope in marriage, and this book presents a basis for real hope.”
— Dr. Scott Stanley, coauthor of A Lasting Promise, research professor at the University of Denver
