We love weddings!

But how do two people, with their different cultural backgrounds and expectations, make sure they continue to grow together for the rest of their lives?

In Celebrating Your Intercultural Marriage, Les and Louise Isaac offer wisdom and encouragement from over 40 years of marriage, and 30 years of marriage ministry, to couples setting out on their intercultural marriage journey.

Including their own stories, and those of real couples they've mentored along the way, they address such important topics as:

- the social and spiritual context for marriage today

- how to set boundaries with parents and in-laws

- why it is important to talk through cultural differences

- how to work through times when those differences clash

- the role of the wider church community in supporting marriages

- why embracing difference can lead to a unique and life-giving relationship

This book is for every couple that wants to learn to love their cultural differences and turn them into their greatest strength.
