Ricardo F. Flores shares a biblical blueprint for grace-filled relationships in "Stormproof Marriage"
LAREDO, Texas, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A leader in marriage ministry, Ricardo F. Flores is passionate about supporting couples as they build a marriage grounded in biblical principles. He now shares his guide to Christ-centered relationships in his new book, "Stormproof Marriage: Why Listening and Following Jesus's Teachings Matter in the Eye of the Storm."
The book emphasizes that a marriage is like a house: Jesus is the foundation, the husband represents the roof, and the wife represents the walls. Just as a house requires beams and pillars connected to the foundation to withstand storms, Flores shares how a marriage must be rooted in Jesus and his teachings to endure life's difficulties. This foundation allows couples to love one another with godlike love.
After experiencing a stormy relationship of his own, Flores found God, and through him, restoration, anchoring his faith in Christ's teachings. Taking note from his own experiences, Flores advises that theology must be translated into action, emphasizing the importance of grace-based relationships and warning against works-based dynamics in marriage.
"Just as salvation is a gift," Flores said, "love in marriage should be extended without merit-based conditions. Grace must flow freely between spouses, modeled after God's grace toward humanity. Marriage should be marked by intentional communication, mutual support and spiritual intimacy."
Providing readers with advice, scriptural references, and metaphors, "Stormproof Marriage" is designed to help readers cultivate a healthy, enduring marriage. From newlyweds to those in their golden years, Flores offers a framework that is both theological and practical, no matter what stage of marriage readers fall into.
"To those who pick up this book," Flores said, "especially those who read it in the middle of a stormy relationship, I hope you find in Christ's teachings the blessing of a stormproof marriage and the ability to love one another despite their imperfections."
