BUILD & BLOOM: Bible Sense for Healing a Hurting Marriage
Is your marriage hurting but you still believe it can become better?
BUILD & BLOOM is a 21-day Christian marriage devotional and workbook designed to help husbands and wives move beyond recurring hurt and begin applying biblical wisdom to their relationship.
Built around what Dr. Rufus Akinrinlola calls Bible Sense — the practical application of God's Word to everyday life — this book guides couples through three intentional stages:
- DISCOVER what is hurting your marriage.
- HEAL by confronting hurt, forgiveness, trust, communication, and recurring conflict.
- NURTURE the love, friendship, peace, faith, and partnership you want to grow.
Each day combines Scripture, practical biblical reflection, action steps, couple-conversation questions, workbook exercises, prayer, and a declaration designed to move couples from simply knowing God's Word to putting it into practice.
BUILD & BLOOM can be worked through together as husband and wife, used in couples' groups or marriage ministries, or studied individually by a spouse who wants to begin making positive changes, even when the other spouse is not yet ready to participate.
You don't have to pretend the hurt isn't there. You don't have to allow yesterday to define tomorrow.
Discover honestly. Heal courageously. Nurture intentionally.
Keep building and give your marriage room to bloom.
