Summary
If you're starting to talk to your kids about God's design for marriage when they're preteens or teens—you might be too late. Author and pastor Sam Allberry knows parents need key discussions with kids about the ways God's ideas for marriage get it right—and he's authored a children's book to generate the conversations you need.
If marriage points to Christ and the church, then maybe anniversaries are more significant than weddings. Because anyone can make a promise, but not everyone keeps a promise. And it's the keeping of the promise that really points to the faithfulness of Christ to His people. -- Sam Allberry
