“In The Unfair Advantage, Dr. Harold Arnold shares clear systems and processes for being as intentional about success in your marriage as you would in business. He draws deeply on biblical Scripture for principles that assure us that ‘if you practice these qualities you will never fail.’ And today, with a thriving marriage, those around you will indeed assume you have an ‘unfair advantage.’”

“In The Unfair Advantage, Dr. Harold Arnold, Jr. does a masterful job at laying out seven principles we can use to build a thriving, healthy and successful marriage. He understands the complexities of marriage and the various elements, both natural and spiritual, that can undermine a healthy one. His practical steps, grounded in Scripture, make this book a must-read for any couple struggling in a marriage that seems hopeless or lost.”

“Many of us have fallen for the accusatory lie of our enemy: ‘You will never have the marriage God wants you to have!’ Dr. Arnold shares that, while it is true that ‘marriage is spiritual warfare with relational consequences,’ we have an unfair advantage. Dr. Arnold has not written another marriage handbook; he has woven a practical theology from the ‘7 grace habits’ of 2 Peter 1:3–11 with practical applications that will empower couples to experience a godly marriage.”

“Initially I reacted to the title, The Unfair Advantage, probably like some of you. I wondered, ‘How could a Christian marriage have an unfair advantage?’ Knowing Dr. Harold Arnold as I do, I realized that somewhere along the way he would provide a brilliant spiritual twist on the phrase ‘unfair advantage’ to show the magnificent role grace plays to enable Christian marriages to win. I was right!”

“With personal stories and Scriptures, Dr. Arnold describes the ‘unfair advantage’ that takes couples from warring to winning. This book is written for those who want to dive deeper into the real reason why God put you together.

—Pam Perry

“The Unfair Advantage is one of those rare books that meticulously unpacks the often overlooked nexus between faith, grace and marital success. Dr. Arnold takes the time to carpool us through a colorful and vivid journey toward spiritual and relational maturity along the highway of 2 Peter 1:3–11. This trip will most certainly awaken your soul, while providing you with a framework for understanding God’s plan for making unfairness your advantage. Enjoy the ride!”
