The Merge for Marriage

"Can’t we ever get on the same page?"

If you back up most broken marriages to the place they first began to come apart, you’ll find that the cracks in the commitment started when little differences began leading to big clashes-a process that author Kari Trent Stageberg calls the Merge. Like rivers coming together, two individuals with different histories and experiences are colliding, and the resulting turbulence is often difficult to navigate. A couple’s response to these challenges can break or strengthen their marriage.

In The Merge for Marriage, Stageberg teaches couples how to move from unavoidable conflict to a stronger relationship. Filled with practical stories, current research on connection and attachment, and enduring biblical principles, this book will be of huge help to any couple dealing with the kinds of differences that can build up-or break down-a marriage.
