Length: 5 hrs and 19 mins

Publisher's Summary

Gary Thomas, best-selling author of Sacred Marriage, believes that one word can bring hope, light and life into any marriage: Cherish. 

"Most marriages survive by gritting teeth and holding on. But marriages can and will not only survive but thrive when husbands and wives learn to cherish one another", Thomas says. 

And in a world desperate for marriage redemption, the act of cherishing is needed now more than ever. 

Thomas shows that although there are a countless number of marriages consisting of two people just going through the motions, there are real ways this pattern can be reversed: when husbands and wives learn to cherish one another in proven, loving, and everyday actions and words. 

Through personal stories and real-world examples, Thomas proves what husbands and wives can begin doing today to turn their marriage around - even a marriage marred by neglect and disrespect. 

So how do you cherish your spouse? Thomas will show you how going out of your way to notice them, appreciate them, honor them, encourage them, and hold them close to your heart will bring hope, light, and life into your marriage.

The jump from love to cherish!

What powerful lessons, story and basis for how to cherish your spouse. I am transformed!

A gift from above

My best friend passed away 13 years ago. ~Cherish~ was a word she used to use a lot. So much so we teased her about it sometimes. Fast forward to 2016, I was struggling in my marriage, I prayed and out loud, verbally asked my best friend to HELP ME!! I started browsing for books and within minutes there it was right before me *CHERISH*... wow. I was shocked. I was even MORE shocked it was about MARRIAGE. I bought it without even reading the whole summary. It was a sign from above, truly for me it was. I was a little turned off by the constant religious references ( I'm more spiritual than religious I guess) and I almost stopped within the first chapter. BUT because of how this book came to me, I had to complete it. Period. And I did. I'm so glad I did :) I also had my husband listen to it as well. It helped us tremendously and was the first book we both listened to, to aid in our marriage troubles. almost 3 years later and 12 years of marriage, we are stronger than ever. I even have the word tattooed on my arm now :) So thank you! To the author and my best friend <3

Okay

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No, it is pretty much the same montra we have been hearing for the last 50yrs. Men, get in touch with your feminin side. I would recommend love and respect by Emmrson & Sarah Eggrich and The Meaning of Marriage by Timothy & Kathy Keller

Has Cherish turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

Could you see Cherish being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No

Great Reminders

This is such a great book! Easy to listen and understand. It reminds me how important to cherish my husband to build a loving marriage.

Powerful

As a Christian myself, I really appreciated the insights provided to help build a healthy, loving, gospel/Christ-centered marriage. It caused me to cry, helped me understand myself a bit more, and created a desire to know my spouse better...to cherish him more in the ways he'd like to be cherished. Thank you!!

must read for getting your heart right

....and getting Gods benefits for having His heart for our attitudes.. great read! listen!

So Refreshing and Convicting

Reading this book left me refreshed in my soul, convicted of my lack of cherish for my wife, as well as impaired to cherish her more. I would recommend this book to every couple. Full stop. It’s just that powerful, succinct, clear, and profitable for godly living in your marriage. If applied properly, I think the concepts presented in this book can also help to understand how to love and cherish others in our lives. This book seems like it was just the right book to listen to at just the right time. I hope it blesses you as much at least, if not more, than it has blessed me. I plan to listen to it multiple times because it’s that good.
