Andrew Powell's new book 'MARRIAGE IS' has emerged as a significant resource for couples seeking to build resilient marriages amid concerning divorce statistics. Drawing from personal experience of divorce in 2005 and over 15 years in his current marriage to wife Ramona, Powell addresses what he identifies as root causes of marital failure: harmful habits and misguided belief systems that have become prevalent in modern relationships.
The book challenges contemporary ideologies that Powell argues contribute to marital breakdown, instead offering readers a faith-based framework for creating lasting unions. Powell emphasizes that marriage itself is perfect, with challenges arising from what he describes as unrenewed hearts and minds of individuals. Through practical guidance, 'MARRIAGE IS' aims to transform fragile partnerships into God-centered, thriving relationships by replacing what Powell considers deceptive ideologies with Biblical truths.
Early readers have noted the book's accessibility and actionable approach to essential marital themes. These include distinguishing assertiveness from aggression, prioritizing preparation over mere attraction in partner selection, and embracing personal responsibility during conflicts. The book is designed to serve multiple audiences: singles preparing for marriage, couples seeking to strengthen existing bonds, and individuals looking for healing after previous failed relationships.
"MARRIAGE IS is not just a book; it's a practical roadmap for anyone serious about building a marriage that lasts," Powell stated. He explained his motivation stems from helping couples move beyond fleeting emotions and modern misconceptions toward intentional, knowledge-driven relationships grounded in Biblical principles.
The book's release comes at a time when first-time marriage divorce rates remain a significant concern, making Powell's approach particularly relevant for those seeking alternatives to conventional relationship advice. Complete with an optional workbook, 'MARRIAGE IS' has already begun to impact couples, marriage counselors, and workshop attendees, helping them apply principles that foster long-term happiness, contentment, and success in relationships.
Readers interested in the book can purchase it through Amazon, where it has been gaining attention for its bold approach to marital success. Powell's background as an electrical engineer and entrepreneur, alongside his wife Ramona in operating a small business employing nine people, informs his practical methodology. His extensive travel to all fifty U.S. states and more than forty countries provides broad perspective on relationship dynamics across cultures.
