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, drawing from over 40 years of marriage, and 30 years of marriage ministry, to couples setting out on an 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.
Louise Isaac has been involved in marriage ministry for over 30 years. Her focus is on promoting and enabling healthy, lasting marriage relationships and she specialises in helping couples overcome intercultural challenges. Rev Les Isaac is the founder of Ascension Trust, and in 2003 he pioneered the Street Pastors movement in the UK. Les was awarded an OBE for his ministry by the late Queen Elizabeth II, and has been appointed as an honorary Ecumenical Canon at Southwark Cathedral, UK. He is the author of Street Pastors and Faith on the Streets. Les and Louise live in London, UK.
