Marriage Minded is a bit more than a book. It's a look--a look into a love relationship between a young man and woman who wanted more than dating, more than 'falling in love,' and more than finding a fairy-tale romance. This couple was (and is) serious about the covenant of marriage and the commitment it takes to make it work. We're so proud of Nick and Chelsea and this vulnerable and helpful book. We know God will use it to help those who read it. Dr. Clayton and Sharie King, authors, speakers, and cofounders of CKM/Crossroads Ministries
