FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Book by Pastor Solomon A. Okang Reveals the Secret to a 72-Year Marriage
Oakwood Ohio – April 20, 2026 – What does seventy-two years of marriage look like, and what can couples today learn from those who have walked the longest miles together? In his latest book, Effective Marriage God’s Way, Pastor Solomon A. Okang answers these questions by weaving together timeless biblical truth, pastoral wisdom, and the real-life story of Tom and Tammy, a couple married for more than seven decades. This is not another marriage manual filled with quick fixes or cultural trends. It is a return to the original blueprint, the one God established before the world began.
Pastor Okang writes from the front lines of ministry and from the intimacy of his own home. As a husband, father, and senior pastor, he understands the pressures that modern couples face. He also knows where to find the answers. The book challenges readers to move beyond viewing marriage as a contract based on feelings and convenience. Instead, it invites them to embrace marriage as a sacred covenant witnessed by God Himself. When couples understand this truth, everything changes. Conflict becomes an opportunity for growth. Forgiveness becomes a daily discipline. Love becomes a choice, not just an emotion.
The core message of Effective Marriage God’s Way is simple yet profound. Marriage works best when couples follow the manufacturer’s instructions. God designed marriage for companionship, mutual support, godly multiplication, and as a living reflection of Christ’s love for the church. When couples align their lives with this design, they discover a depth of intimacy and purpose that the world cannot offer.
This book speaks to a wide audience. Engaged couples will find wisdom for building a strong foundation. Newlyweds will discover practical tools for navigating early challenges. Seasoned couples will be encouraged and refreshed. Pastors and counselors will gain rich material for mentoring others. Blended families, international couples, and those struggling in difficult marriages will find hope and guidance rooted in Scripture.
Pastor Okang’s writing style is warm, personal, and deeply pastoral. He does not write from a distance but invites readers into his own journey, including the joys and challenges of his cross-cultural marriage. His voice feels like a conversation with a trusted mentor, one who speaks truth with love and humility. The inclusion of a chapter by his wife, Danielle Okang, adds a beautiful and vulnerable perspective on finding peace and healing in marriage.
This book is more than a collection of principles. It is a testimony that God’s way still works. It will strengthen your faith, deepen your love, and equip you to build a marriage that endures.
Effective Marriage God’s Way is available now at Amazon and at all online bookstores and major retailers.
