OUR BOOK

Have you ever wondered why the divorce rate is so high?  Why does it seem so impossible for couples to stay together?  It truly feels like every time you turn around, another couple has called it quits.  I don’t know about you, but this saddens me.  Marriage is such a beautiful partnership, and, with the right tools and mindset, we believe happily ever after does exist.  We not only believe it, we are living proof.  Our book takes a deep dive into all of the challenging aspects of marriage, with real life examples, to show how couples can navigate through these challenges and come out on the other side happier, healthier and even more in love.  Each chapter introduces and analyzes experiences we have overcome and includes a level of transparency and vulnerability that is unmatched.  This approach allows us to reach the many couples who have experienced these scenarios (to let them know they are not alone and can make it through), those who are currently going through challenges (to help guide them through) and those who will encounter these situations in the future (for preparation).  It caters to all who are striving to attain marital success at some point in their future.

Reader Reviews

"I appreciated that this wasn't a book pretending life or marriage is easy. It talks about the real challenges that can come with relationships, parenting, grief, career setbacks, and more, while also showing what it looks like to keep choosing each other through it all.
 
What I loved most was how authentic it felt. I found myself reflecting on my own life and relationships while reading it, and I think that’s what makes this book so special. It’s encouraging, very vulnerable, and real.
 
I’m really proud of them for telling their story. If you’re looking for a genuine book about love and growing through some of life’s hardest seasons, I’d definitely recommend this book.”

Kaprie C.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! It was refreshing to read about a young couple's journey through the ups and downs of marriage and parenthood over the past 20 years.

 

I appreciated the honesty about the challenges the couple faced in their marriage and as parents. It made the story relatable and inspiring.

 

What stood out to me the most was the message that this couple chooses each other every single day. They choose to show up. They choose to communicate. They choose to keep working on their marriage, even when it's difficult. I've heard other long-married couples say something similar—that at the end of the day, when they hear the garage door open, they make the conscious decision to choose their spouse again. I loved seeing that same principle reflected throughout this story.

 

Congratulations on a wonderful book! I implore all couples to read this story of inspiration and love."

"I enjoyed this book. It expressed the ups and downs of family life and marriage. Gives marital advice and perspective to other couples and families.  I laughed, cried, got angry, but overall felt the love and loyalty and what it takes to make a 25 year and counting marriage work. Thanks to the both of you for having the courage and allowing us into your world and personal space!"
