Women today are faced with a myriad of choices. And those choices can greatly affect their relationships with God and with their husbands.

Each chapter is split into four parts:

• Insight into Scripture takes you to key scriptures relevant to the topic at hand.
• Insight into myself allows you to reflect on your attitudes and circumstances in order to examine areas of your life addressed by a given lesson.
• Insight into my husband deepens your awareness of how you and your spouse relate to each other by asking you to reflect on issues from your husband's point of view.

Jack and Cynthia Heald share their insights about communication, commitment, and honestly gleaned from 40 years of married life. Walking Together combines the Heald's personal life experiences with an enriching biblical study on marriage and its true foundation—intimacy with God.
