About this listen

Honest to the core and laugh-out-loud funny, marriage coaches Dave and Ann Wilson share the one key secret that brought them from the brink of divorce to a healthy and vibrant relationship.

He never saw it coming. It was the night of Dave and Ann's 10th wedding anniversary, and if asked how their marriage was doing, Dave would have said a 9.8 out of 10, and he even guaranteed Ann would say the same. But instead of giving a celebratory kiss, Ann whispered, "I've lost my feelings for you."

Divorce seemed inevitable. But starting that night, God began to reveal to Dave and Ann the most overlooked secret of getting the marriage we are looking for: the horizontal marriage relationship just doesn’t work until the vertical relationship with Christ is first.

As founders of a multicampus church and marriage coaches with 30 years of experience, Dave and Ann share the hard-earned but easy-to-apply biblical principles that ensure a strong marriage. Written in a funny and highly relatable dialogue between both husband and wife, Vertical Marriage will guide you toward building a vibrant relationship at every level including communication, conflict, intimacy, and romance - though Dave is still figuring that last one out. Through their unique perspectives, they share an intimate, sometimes hilarious and at times deeply poignant narrative of one couple’s journey to reconnecting with God and discovering the joy and power of a vertical marriage.

For anyone who is married, preparing for marriage, or desperate to save a relationship teetering on the edge of disaster, Dave and Ann offer hope and strategies that really work. Vertical Marriage will give you the insight, applications, and inspiration to reconnect with God together and to transform your marriage to everything you hoped it would be.

Reflection questions for couples available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Learned so much!

Part of me really didn't want to read a marriage book, but it popped up as a book I might be interested in. I felt led to read it and very convicted while reading it. But with that said, I know in my heart I need to change my thinking and my ways vertical toward God if I want my marriage of 35 years to ever be different. It's an excellent book and will hold your interest.

A must for all married couples who follow Christ

Dave and Ann lead people through marriage by sharing their stories that are so easy to relate to and offering a light of hope to all who chose to receive it. You will be entertained, you will laugh, you may cry and you will be changed if you allow it.

The Best Marriage Survival Book

This has been the very best audio book that I’ve heard of the few and that I’ve enjoyed reading previously to getting married, which has helped me through those 28 years of marriage.

Easy Read With Deep Lessons

My husband and I read this as part of a marriage group. The book was engaging and help us all evaluate the role we put God in our marriages. I highly recommend this to all couples that want to improve their marriage.
