The Marriage You've Always Wanted #Book #Review and #Giveaway

Raise your hand if you've read the book "The 5 Love Languages." (I'm raising my hand, too.) I've owned at least a dozen copies of that book over time. I would buy it...hear of a friend in a bad spot in her marriage or in her relationship with her children and I'd loan it out...or gift it as it turned out. Sean & I considered it a privilege to not have the books returned because it meant someone needed it more than we did.

So when I tell you that I have great respect for Gary Chapman as an author and as a counselor in the area of marriage, I don't say that lightly. His Love Languages book revolutionized my life and I credit it with saving our marriage when we didn't yet know we had a problem.

When I found out he has written a new book, you know I was first in line to get it. And I personally had to wait until Valentine's Day to post my review and giveaway. What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than to talk about a book that will help your marriage?

What you'll find in "The Marriage You've Always Wanted" is a way to improve a good marriage or possibly help save a hurting one. Dr. Chapman takes all of the wisdom he's gathered over years of being a pastor and counselor and has put together a book to help husband and wife achieve true unity. Some of the chapters answer questions like:
"Why won't my spouse change?"
"How did I get them to listen to me?"
"How can we make decisions together?"

I have loved this book and want my husband & I to read and work through the questions together. Keep reading because I am thrilled to be able to give away a copy of this book on my blog.
