Everyone wants to be loved unconditionally, especially in marriage. Unfortunately, we all fall short of unconditional love because relationships, like the weather, are full of conditions! Some conditions, like faithfulness, forgiveness, and respect, are necessary for healthy relationships. However, many relationships are plagued with the unhealthy conditions of control, self-interest, abuse of power, and unrealistic expectations. With his trademark upbeat approach and unique insights, Joey O'Connor shares with couples the important principles of grace and space in marriage. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13, O'Connor examines all aspects of unconditional love, including patience, kindness, trust, and hope. He also explores conditions that too often exist in marriages today-impatience, pride, envy, and rudeness, to name a few. With plenty of humor and engaging stories, O'Connor shows husbands and wives that the unconditional love modeled by Jesus is possible in their marriages.
