Building a Ridiculously Great Marriage: Premarital and Marital Habits

"... a cheat sheet to ace the "Marriage Test." "... the short and dirty version of what it takes to have a marriage that is so great, other couples will stand up and notice—they might even call it 'ridiculous.'" It’s no secret that couples in great marriages do things differently than couples in bad ones. But what are those things and how do ordinary folks start doing them? Based on thousands of counseling hours and personal experience, Gil Stieglitz spells out the 15 essential habits found in great marriages that aren’t found in difficult ones. The goal for all married couples is to have a marriage filled with joy, for a happy marriage that is complete, unified, and full of mutual love and respect. In other words, a ridiculously great marriage. The habits in this book will help you get there. Building a Ridiculously Great Marriage is a real game-changer for pre-married couples, struggling couples who want to fix their marriage, or couples who want practical relationship advice. It is also a terrific resource for pastors, ministry leaders, counselors, and anyone who works with couples for pre-marriage and marriage counseling.
