In the Kriegs' case, Laurie is primarily attracted to women--and so is Matt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome find the idea of mixed-orientation marriage bewildering or even offensive. But as the Kriegs have learned, nothing is impossible with God--and that's as true of their marriage as anyone else's. In \u003ci\u003eAn Impossible Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e, the Kriegs tell their story: how they met and got married, the challenges and breakthroughs of their journey, and what they've learned about marriage along the way. Christianity teaches us that marriage is a picture of Jesus' love for the church--and that's just as true in a mixed-orientation marriage as in a straight one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith vulnerability and wisdom, this book lays out an engaging picture of marriage in all its pain and beauty. It's a picture that points us, over and over again, to the love and grace of Jesus--as marriage was always meant to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatt Krieg is a licensed professional counselor and director of counseling at Caring Well Counseling.
