Andrew Powell has launched his book Marriage IS, challenging the widespread assumption that marriage is inherently difficult or destined to fail. The author contends that the true source of high divorce rates lies not in external pressures but in deeply ingrained, flawed belief systems and ideologies that individuals bring into relationships. Powell's work specifically targets misconceptions rooted in Post Modernism, rejecting the concept of 'your truth' in favor of enduring principles grounded in knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. He argues that love alone is insufficient for marital success and encourages both individuals and couples to critically examine their personal belief systems.
The book is designed as a resource for singles, married couples, pastors, counselors, and teachers, providing a structured framework for intentional self-reflection and change. Drawing from his personal journey through divorce and a successful second marriage, Powell offers a compassionate yet authoritative guide aimed at fostering healing, longevity, and fulfillment in marital relationships. His approach suggests that by identifying and correcting what he terms 'bad ideas,' couples can build more resilient partnerships. The book's release comes at a time when marital statistics continue to show significant challenges, positioning Powell's perspective as a direct challenge to conventional wisdom about relationship difficulties.
The framework presented in Marriage IS emphasizes practical application over theoretical discussion, with Powell's background as an electrical engineer and business co-owner informing his systematic approach to problem-solving in relationships. His extensive personal experience, including visiting all fifty U.S. states and more than 40 countries, provides a broad perspective on cultural approaches to marriage. The book is available through various retailers including Amazon and other major booksellers.
