Not Easily Broken: Wisdom for Dating and Marriage with Christ at the Center
Autor Joyce Dinkins, Steven Dinkinsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mar 2026
Joyce and Steven have a sweet love story. After 37 years of marriage, they still cast affectionate glances. Although their romance is very much alive, they would be the first to tell you the key to building a marriage that lasts depends on one thing: God’s presence.
In this unique book that is part memoir, part self-help, and part devotional, the Dinkins share how God’s divine direction has created and sustained their enduring marriage. They write candidly about their first marriages to other people, their divorces and single life, and the long relationship they now enjoy. Their story anchors devotional reflections and lessons on whom to marry and why, how to overcome marriage failures, parenting well in blended families, finding comfort during health crises, and much more.
In 40 digestible devotions and 8 truth-telling articles, the Dinkins emphasize how God’s wisdom will help you overcome marriage fears and frailties, while celebrating how His supernatural love binds spouses together so they are not easily broken. Whatever your current relationship status, you can sit at the feet of this dynamic couple and see how God worked in their lives, and how He can work in yours.

Marriage ‘advice’ can be helpful; however, marriage is ultimately an on-the-job training, build-the-plane-as-you-fly-it phenomenon—no instruction manuals included. Every now and then, a special resource comes along that guides those who are married (or desire marriage) with gentleness and time-tested wisdom, as most individuals entering into marriage do not have hindsight as a tool. Not Easily Broken covers these bases beautifully with authenticity and transparency. It is useful at any phase in the marital journey.
I can think of no better and more loving couple to write this book on love, life, dating, parenting and marriage, with JESUS at the center, than Joyce and Steven Dinkins, who are so in love, and so committed to God and one another.
It is clear that their love is not easily shaken, and definitely not broken.
Whether you see them in person, speak to them on the phone, or listen to or read their wisdom on these pages, it’s like prayer and love embracing one another, and then being sealed and all wrapped up in a big hug.
Her femininity, his masculinity, and their authenticity are engulfed in God’s divinity, as they share openly and poignantly. This is a must-read if you’re thinking about, interested in, about to or are already dating or getting married.
The biblical book of Proverbs exhorts us to be attentive to wisdom and to incline our hearts to understanding. As I read the eight ‘love stories’ that make up Not Easily Broken, I was reminded of that exhortation with each turn of the page. This work borne out of the hearts, minds, and relationship of Joyce and Steven Dinkins is filled with wisdom that any of us who are in dating or marriage relationships would do well to savor and apply. It’s a testament to their own enduring relationship, and an investment in the relational path their readers are on. Highly recommended.
After more than fifty years of marriage, I deeply value Joyce and Steven’s transparency in sharing both their challenges and their joys, offering couples the kind of Christ-centered wisdom that strengthens love for a lifetime.
I have been privileged to know Joyce professionally for the past decade. This moving collection of stories gives us a window into her and Steven’s lives, marriage, family, and much more. Their stories are engaging and transparent, elegantly capturing the highs and the lows of mature, Christ-centered love, romance, dating, and marriage. Moreover, this book stands out because it takes us to the next level, offering practical, biblically grounded principles for love and marriage that are built to last. It is a must-read for dating and engaged couples who want to do life, love, and marriage God’s way.
There is so much to appreciate about Not Easily Broken that makes it a compelling and educational must-read for all—married and engaged couples, those considering marriage, and those working with couples. Beautifully written, filled with inspiring stories, and embedded with practical exercises, Joyce and Steven take us through the ups and downs of mature marital relationships (primarily theirs but also others), while demonstrating love and resilience in the context of biblical wisdom.
My husband Herb and I were so blessed to sojourn with the Dinkins in Birmingham, Alabama, and witness the authenticity of their words penned here. They have vulnerably ‘poured out their lives as a drink offering’ to edify married couples and families for God’s glory.
Marriages are built thread by thread and strand by strand, until, with God’s help, they become durable cords. Readers of Not Easily Broken will be inspired to strengthen the bonds of love, marriage, and faith through difficult times and tender times. Joyce and Steven Dinkins share their hearts, their truth, and their example to encourage a lifetime of love. They remind us that God keeps His vow to sustain a marriage long after the wedding ceremony is over. All we must do is give Him the threads of our love story.
In their gentle, beckoning style, Joyce and Steven come up alongside to bring you closer to Jesus in your most vital relationships. Whether happily married or searching for what might be next, here is practical wisdom for you!
