"David Hazelton's God's Marriage Blueprint provides a comprehensive well researched dive into the many truths God has given regarding marriage. He masterfully takes you on a journey into marriage as the Creator would have you understand it with all its beauty and purpose. As a clinical Psychologist, I have worked with countless marriages throughout my career and can full heartedly say that David's work is a must read and resource for all that have entered into this covenant."

Bill & Nancie Carmichael
"We are so pleased that David Hazelton has authored this important book, to give us insight into why we struggle at times in our marriages with selfishness and our sinful nature—because we all do. But most importantly, this book gives us hope, because we can see that marriage for the Christ follower can be so much better. David's God's Marriage Blueprint stands out from much that has been written about marriage. Rather than focusing on his personal views, David works hard to reveal what the Bible says about marriage. He provides a thoughtful and reliable source for understanding what God has revealed about His plan for marriage."

Dr. Rick Ostrander
"God's Marriage Blueprint makes an important contribution to the Christian literature on marriage. In an engaging, conversational style, David Hazelton blends biblical exegesis with practical advice based on over forty-five years of marriage. His analysis moves beyond tired debates between 'complementarians' and 'egalitarians' and advances a model of 'oneness' for marriage rooted in the Genesis creation account. This book will be helpful both to older couples and to younger couples seeking a biblical foundation for their marriage."

Al Goff
"David Hazelton and I have shared a deep, brotherly, lifelong friendship. I watched his relationship with Rebekah even before it began, rejoiced as it flowered, and was privileged to stand with them as they exchanged vows. Years later, he stood by me as I made my way to the altar, and despite geographical distance, has helped me to remain standing ever since. I greatly commend this book, knowing his integrity, clarity of mind, faithfulness, genuine love for neighbors around the world, and his rootedness in the Holy Spirit and the testimony of Scripture. The life that he and Beky share speaks redemptively of God's faithfulness, and to the wisdom of His plans for a man and woman who come together seeking it."

Dr. Daniel Paul Horn
"I have read many books on marriage, but David brings an attorney's eye for detail and nuance to Scripture and shows how its marriage principles work in everyday life. The marriage assessment in the back alone is worth the price of the book and serves couples who are preparing for marriage as well as those, like my wife and me after 27 years, who want to keep growing. I recommend this Scripture-rich resource to anyone considering marriage, just beginning it, or seeking a clear, practical explanation of what marriage is."
