A biblical call to men to restore their marriages through humility, leadership, and trust in God
Many Christian men love their wives but quietly feel uncertain, frustrated, or worn down. Despite good intentions, something in the marriage feels off. It is easier to withdraw or manage than to engage and lead. But Scripture paints a different picture.
In Marriage Is Worth the Fight, Josef Kauzlarich invites men to take a fresh look at marriage through the lens of God’s design. Drawing from personal experience and biblical conviction, he helps husbands see that the path to restoration begins not with controlling outcomes, but with surrendering to God’s work in their own hearts.
This is not a quick fix or a self-help formula. It is a steady call to embrace the covenant of marriage with strength, vision, and humility—reflecting Christ’s relationship with the Church.

In a broken world it is hard to know what it means to guide your wife and family according to God’s will. What does it mean to love your wife as Christ loved the church? What dos it mean to lead your wife? To honor her? How am I to be a good husband? Whether you have asked this question to others or just internally, every man ponders these questions. I have looked everywhere for a book that tackled these questions and always came up short until I found this book.

I would recommend this book to every husband whether you have been married for one day or 80 years. This book explains God’s design and gift of marriage!
