About this listen
Enter the Ring takes a fresh, powerful, vulnerable approach to marriage by framing it as the fight that it is. The world uses different assaults and tactics to distract us, tempting us to walk away, in order to destroy our marriages. But there is hope: The constant forgiveness, grace, and intervention of God can preserve and protect us from not only the world but also ourselves.
D. A. and Elicia Horton explore the tension of two people becoming one and how spouses often fight over which "one of us" they become. They unpack topics such as:
- Seasons of suffering
- Communication
- Sexual and physical intimacy
- The spiritual life of the home
- Money
This book approaches the traditional topics of a marriage book with the brutal and life-giving honesty of two millennials who have fought together for their marriage. All topics are addressed through the vulnerable lens of the authors' own struggles and mistakes.
This is a no-holds-barred, real-world...marriage book.
D.A. Horton serves as Pastor of Reach Fellowship a church plant in North Long Beach, CA and as Chief Evangelist for the Urban Youth Workers Institute (UYWI). Prior to his current roles he served as an urban church planter/pastor in Kansas City, MO, a National Coordinator of Urban Student Ministries at the North American Mission Board (NAMB) and the Executive Director at ReachLife Ministries, the non-profit ministry of Reach Records.

Story
How important is holiness to you? How much thought, attention, and effort do you devote to the pursuit of holiness? Is it your priority and mission to be holy? Nancy Leigh DeMoss teaches that we must make it our constant, conscious ambition to be holy. Just as an athlete sets his sight on winning an Olympic gold medal, so we as believers must focus on the pursuit of holiness. And the reward that awaits us brings a depth of joy that far outweighs a fading gold medal; it is the humble pleasure of hearing the father say, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

Story
Being a genuine disciple of Christ flows out of a relationship with him. It's about experiencing God's grace, not earning his love through performance. A real relationship with Jesus Christ will produce a follower whose life looks progressively more like his life. Romans 12 provides a relational profile of an authentic disciple: someone who is surrendered to God, separate from the world's values, sober in self-assessment, serving in love, and supernaturally responsive to evil with good.

When we find something valuable that helps us accomplish the things that matter most, we don't let go of it. Life is not a game. However, on multiple occasions, the Bible uses competitive sports metaphors to demonstrate the discipline and training necessary to grow and become everything God created you to be. The things we care about most - our identity, our purpose, our relationships - are far more important than a game. We have to learn to win in these areas. And yet, when it comes to our spiritual lives, it often feels more elusive.

A great resource which points back to the Bible
I feel I was led to this book. What a wonderful read this was. This book should be read by both married and unmarried people. It contains a lot of information which all points back to the most important book of our lives, the Bible. I pray for blessings to all who read and to its authors.

Raw and Authentic
Paints a very real picture of marriage and what God intends it to be. Their story is told in an authentic way that and shows how true marriage bucks the cultural norms that we've grown accustomed to in the age of social media and digital life filters.

Must read for every couple
wish I would have found this before the ending of my last relationship. Just reading this and having a discussion with her would have likely saved our relationship and likely would have led to a fulfilling marriage to her.
