No matter how good your marriage is or how long you have been married, marriage is never-ending work in progress. Even though it will never be perfect, there is always room for improvement. We’ll always be faced with new challenges, circumstances, and celebrations with each passing year. It’s like a roller coaster – amusing, sometimes scary, with its fair share of ups and downs. The ride can be enjoyable as long as the one you love is right by your side through the good and bad times, making your marriage stronger.
The Marriage You’ve Always Wanted is easy to read, yet an insightful book that will help you enrich your marriage. There are nine chapters that cover everything from listening and decision-making to the true meaning of love and financials. Some of the marriages’ many common mistakes are covered in this book, such as letting our emotions get the best of us.
Gary Chapman speaks of a person that he had met and said to him “You can’t let raw sewage run through a marriage and expect to grow a garden.” This word of wisdom came to conclusion after the person realized what had ruined his marriage. The best way we can teach our spouse is with loving words, not words of hatred. Love edifies (1 Corinthians 8:1). Edify means “to build up.” Hate doesn’t build anyone up, but love does.
The Marriage You’ve Always Wanted is a practical book that is beneficial and a positive reinforcement for one’s marriage. Click here to order or read more about the book. Also, you can connect with Gary Chapman via Facebook and Twitter.
