I didn’t marry the love of my life. I married a man and he became the love of my life. Real love takes time to grow. Real love takes work. It is not a fifty/fifty deal. Marriage is a 100%/100% day in and day out commitment. My husband and I have worked together. I’ve quit. He’s fired me, and yes—we are still together. We believe that it has all been worth it, and continue to make each moment of marriage matter.
See, marriages aren’t made of years, they are made of moments. Moments of intimacy and moments of loss, moments of tears and slugging it out together. But mainly, marriages are made of moments where commitment to the same lifetime goal are walked out, “... until death do we part.”
A lot has changed since we said, “I do.” Many days we have both wondered how we were ever going to make this thing called “marriage” work. However, once you decide to work it, it does exactly that, it works. So, for each of the 40 days let this book challenge you to be all in. Roll up your sleeves and go to work. Make each moment matter for a better marriage!
So, this is a book for you, for your marriage, for your sons and daughters and their marriages. There is no generation gap when we are talking about marriages. When we can individually model a successful marriage that has stood the test of time it speaks volumes. When it's hard to find the words to help then hand them this book. It will speak for itself.
