What It Takes to Make Your Marriage Work

De: Kevin A. Thompson

Narrado por: Kevin A. Thompson

Great marriages don't just happen - they're made, intentionally, day by day. Yet most of us enter the covenant of marriage thinking that the role of spouse will be easy, natural, effortless. Rarely is this true. In fact, the number one cause of divorce isn't adultery or finances or disagreements. It's apathy - a lack of intentional emotional, physical, and mental investment in the relationship. With engaging stories and clear, simple language, pastor Kevin A. Thompson explains the three critical roles of a spouse - friend, partner, and lover - and shows how to nurture those roles in order to keep a marriage healthy and strong. Using solid biblical principles, he helps couples understand how to grow their friendship, be a supportive partner through the good times and the bad, and develop a healthy and satisfying sex life.

Friends, Partners, and Lovers offers essential insight for couples at any stage of marriage but will be especially helpful to those who are struggling and those who are engaged or newly married and looking to start their marriage on strong footing.

Don’t take your spouse for granted

Wonderful reminder of the many small things that help and hurt our marriage. Great story. Relatable and encouraging.

Loved it, to the very end. Wish I was more opened to and read it years ago. While a perhaps a Christian themed foundational background (the author is a pastor) the content has applications for anyone desiring a strong successful relationship or marriage. All relationships will have their trials. This is a highly recommended book for anyone seeking to make the most of a committed partnership.

3 aspects of marriage that all matter!

Great book on marriage all the way through! I wanted to say yes to so much.

Life Changing

The author’s insight is truly transformational for marriage and in life! I highly recommend this book to any stage of married couples.

A MUST read for newlyweds and marriages.

I wish I would have read this book as a newlywed. After a 20 year marriage that ended in divorce, I know if I had read this with my spouse, we could have held on. Marriage doesn't have a guidebook, but I feel it needs one. This book was such a great guide on how to keep your marriage together and gave very practical advice and examples. Kevin really shows all sides of a marriage without the expectation of traditional gender roles. It was above anything, about partnership. This book should be read by every newlywed couple. I will encourage my children to read this before getting married.
