What is the secret to a healthy, happy, fulfilling marriage?

Nearly every marriage starts out happy, and if we're honest, nearly every marriage at some point becomes unhappy. Is there a solution? Can an unhappy marriage really get back to being happy? Can it be truly and authentically happy--even better than it was at first? Kevin and Marcia Myers, who have been married for nearly four decades and went through nearly every challenge a couple can face, emphatically say yes.

Revealing seven practices that offer help and hope for a happy and enduring marriage, The Second Happy is a captivating, practical resource that provides the tools necessary to tune-up, overhaul, or even rebuild your marriage. Practices to sustain and strengthen a marriage include the following:

• Breaking the quit cycle
• Picking a fair fight so both people win
• Keeping disagreements from escalating
• Removing pretense from your relationship.

Rooted in Scripture and contemporary insights from the Myers's marriage, as well as real stories from other couples, this revelatory book shows how any marriage can regain depth, meaning and, yes, happiness.

Great insights into building a great marriage

These insights for couples of every walk of life. Kevin & Marcia share vulnerabilities and help others to see that we all have elephants in our families that need to be dealt with.

I leaned a ton about relationships

I am currently in the dating stage and this was very helpful as I am figuring that out. My biggest takeaway was the elephant concepts, and dealing with it will have stress but it is far less than the pain of not dealing with it. Thank you!

Great for any and all couples, regardless of where relationship is!

Very easy to follow and simple yet resoundingly effected fundamentals to implement immediately. Highly recommend!

Actually helpful

This book was incredibly easy to listen to and provided plenty of easy to implement, real-life, clear examples and resolutions. I enjoyed the audio book so much and found it so helpful, I'm ordering a physical copy to read and take notes in. Didn't feel judgy like other marriage books. Didn't "beat a dead horse" with endless repetition.

Worth a Read for anyone at any point of your relationship

The book offers a different outlook then what society teaches. You’re able to listen to the authors’ stories and views, while being able to intertwine some of these practices. I have to say that I am a bit wiser when approaching conversation and more optimistic when we do disagree.
