O'Bryan grew up very close to his parents and grandparents and saw firsthand a successful 129 years of marriage between the two couples.

So, what is the secret to marriage? In Marriage Maturity, a work guided to completion by the Holy Spirit, O'Bryan shares the true stories of his parents and grandparents.
