Overview

In today's world, marriage is rarely what it could be. While psychology contains practical helps, it does not solve all that much of the marriage failure problem. While it is helpful, psychology does not address the essence of the problem; the heart where the spirit lives and is nurtured. We all know that marriage takes effort, but we rarely tap into the assist that is available to us. In the Sacred Betrothal, Bob Prezioso explains that marriage is far more a spiritual than a practical experience. Flourishing, joyful marriages have a spiritual component, which requires a different approach. The way we need to relate to our spouses is not hidden from us. God does not leave us alone in solving the mysteries of relationship. For over three thousand years, sages have protected the main concepts of marriage for our benefit. We have to look at marriage from God's perspective, not ours. Bob found the Old and New Testaments to be God's marriage manual and he provides refreshing insights to what marriage can be when we follow the guidelines of the God who created us for His most fundamental relationship. Bob's career in Information Technology sharpened his analytical skills, which he brought to his love of scripture. Because he did not see the kind of marriage he sought in family and friends, he went to the time honored principles of scripture for the game plan he needed. He studied the topic for a number of years, and has presented those fundamentals with both their Hebrew and Christian traditions to provide new insights to God's view of marriage. He lives in San Antonio Texas with his wife, Epsie. They have three children and four grandchildren.
