Gary has heard from countless couples whose marriages have been saved by the idea behind Sacred Marriage – that marriage is supposed to do more than make you happy. In the second hour, Kerby chats with Eric Metaxas about his new book (literally hot of the press), 7 Women and the Secret of their Greatness. Through the lives of Joan of Arc, Susanna Wesley, Hannah More, Maria Skobtsova, Corrie ten Boom, Mother Teresa, and Rosa Parks; Metaxas points us in the direction of some exemplary models of true womanhood.
