If you are married, or engaged, or dating someone that might be the one and secretly reading all the marriage books that you can lay your hands on... this post is for you.
I've never been one for reading all of those marriage books, even though I have read some, and I think that they hold a lot of good information. But after a while, books telling you what to fix about your marriage become tedious and boring, and I lose interest about a quarter of the way through.
Not with this book.
When picking a book to review, I saw "the surprising secrets of highly happy marriages" by Shaunti Feldhahn and just kept scrolling down the page. When I didn't see another book that interested me, I decided to click on it and see what it was all about. It intrigued me, I must admit, when the back of the book talked about highly happy couples 'going to bed mad, keeping score, and not telling it like it is".

In this very unique and well written book, Feldhahn takes the boring, mundane marriage book and turns it into into something new and exciting... And all she did was focus on the positive things that couples were doing instead of focusing on the negative things that we are doing! AMAZING!
While reading this book, I didn't feel like I was a failure at marriage, but while reading stories of what has worked for other couples, it inspired me to try harder at my marriage, and to try new things.
Bottom line: read this book. If you are single, dating, engaged, or have been married for 25 years. Read it!
