Marcus and Cecelia Girard Empower Couples with Practical Wisdom in Marriage Leadership

A comprehensive guide offering 200 proven principles for building lasting, successful relationships
Marriage is one of the most important commitments a couple can make, yet many struggle to find the balance between love, responsibility, and long-term growth. In their latest book, Marriage Leadership, authors Marcus and Cecelia Girard share a powerful collection of insights and strategies designed to help couples strengthen their bonds and create marriages that truly thrive.
Drawing from more than thirty-three years of marriage, the Girards—high school sweethearts, proud parents of six grown children, and hosts of annual marriage retreats—bring both personal experience and practical guidance to their work. Over the years, they have published nineteen books, including Blended Families, Teamwork Makes the Dream Work, The Essential Habits That Successful Relationships Practice Daily, and Universal Marriage Tips. Their latest release continues this legacy of teaching couples how to embrace principles that foster growth, unity, and resilience.
At the heart of Marriage Leadership lies a simple truth: successful marriages are not built on race, creed, class, or circumstance, but on intentional choices and daily practices. The Girards emphasize that couples can dramatically shift the trajectory of their lives by adopting just one new principle at a time, eventually creating a foundation for love and partnership that lasts. With 200 actionable tips, the book serves as both a guide and an inspiration for couples at every stage of their journey.
“We wanted to stop the myth that some couples are more successful because of who they are,” the authors explain. “The truth is, successful couples simply apply principles that others have not yet chosen to embrace. This book shows couples how they can do better—starting today.”
The Girards’ mission extends beyond their writing. Through their retreats and speaking engagements, they continue to impact marriages across America and Africa, helping partners rediscover joy, rebuild commitment, and lead their relationships with purpose.
