About the Book
Love Birds: God’s Plan for a Marriage that Soars
From the very beginning, the enemy’s first attack was aimed at marriage. Today, the assault continues—division, distraction, and disconnection threaten the covenant God designed to be sacred, joyful, and lifelong. But your marriage was never meant to merely survive. It was meant to soar!
In Love Birds, pastor and author Jacob Rodriguez draws from timeless biblical truth and the remarkable qualities of the dove—a bird known for purity, faithfulness, and lifelong partnership—to show couples how to build a marriage that reflects God’s love. With warmth, wisdom, and practical insight, he guides you through ten key lessons, including:
Embracing the covenant that anchors your relationship
Following the Spirit’s leading as a couple
Creating a safe and Christ-centered home
Reigniting intimacy and communication
Enduring hardship and loss together
Reviving your love song and vision for the future
Whether you are newlyweds, celebrating decades together, or preparing for marriage, this book will help you align your relationship with God’s purpose, strengthen your bond, and rediscover the joy of being united in Christ.
More than a book of advice, Love Birds is a journey of prayer, reflection, and practical steps that will transform the way you live together. Your love story is part of God’s greater story—one meant to leave a legacy for generations.
If you’re ready to stop settling for less and start soaring in your marriage, this book is for you.
