Christian marriage advice book, aimed at couples. It’s meant to help both “young and seasoned” marriages thrive.
​
Encouraging and practical: not overly academic, more real-life, down-to-earth wisdom. The book acknowledges imperfections: the idea is not to pretend a marriage is perfect, but to use imperfections as stepping stones toward a better relationship.
"Dr. Seuss is right, I don't want to sleep and miss every moment because now, finally, my rieality is better than my dreams."
