Customer Reviews

A MUST Read!

There are not enough wonderful things I can say about this book. Within the stories of each successful couple, the secrets to a truly great marriage are reavealed. Much more interesting to read than some manual by an 'expert' the honesty, love and devotion shown by these couples has the power to inspire anyone to WANT TO be a better spouse. This book also serves as a reminder that while so many couples have kids and get stuck in the role of 'parent first, roommate second' after the kids are grown its just you and your mate. The book mentions the couples as having kids, but they never take on the starring role. It always comes down to just the two of them. If you think your marriage is good, read this book and understand how amazing it really can be!

"Pencils in the hand of God" (Mother Teresa)

As one of the couples selected to be featured in this "inspired" work, we are greatly humbled. Mat Boggs and Jason Miller have met Mother Teresa's challenge and "written a love letter to the world" by doing four years of research and writing to finish this work of love. They have run the race and finished it, freely giving up over four years of their lives to do so. I just finished reading the book and found myself laughing, crying, and blessing the authors as I read it. It will bless young and old, newly weds, long time weds, those planning to wed, and even friendships. We have ordered fifteen copies to give as gifts. This book will bless anyone who reads it!

WoW! Finally...a true road to a long and happy marriage

I have been in the Engagement Ring business for over 53 years. Our chain of 5 stores specialize in the Bridal market, with 90% of our revenue coming from the sale of Engagement Rings, Wedding bands, and Anniversary jewelery. We're so excited about the merits of this book that we are considering giving it as a gift to all of the engaged and married couples who come through our doors. If 50% of marriages end up in divorce, the other 50% are worth studying. mat and Jason have done a superb job of getting the secrets of a happy marriage from the "old timers" like my wife and I.

Authors found the golden ticket to happy marriages

Mat Boggs and Jason Miller crossed the country to find, interview and learn from America's "Marriage Masters," couples who had been happily married 40 years or more. Their new heart-warming book shows that they succeeded. Project Everlasting is filled with the kind of true life stories that can literally change the way people live and love. Reading these bachelors' attempts to understand love, respect and commitment along with the marriage masters' thoughts about what it takes to live happily ever after transformed what I thought about marriage. Kudos to these two men for seeking out those wiser than us, those who have been there, done that, and created a life filled with love and happiness. We should all learn from those who went before us -- especially those who found and kept love. We can do that by reading Project Everlasting. I recommend this book to everyone. -- Brendon Burchard, author of Life's Golden Ticket

"LOVED" it!

Project Everlasting is an inspiring book that everyone should read, whether you've been married for years, in the middle of it all, just starting out, or contemplating making that lifelong commitment. This book provides whatever it is you need to see as examples of loving marriages; it provides hope that marriages can last a lifetime and remain full of love. The book will make you laugh hysterically until your cheeks hurt, but it will also bring tears to your eyes as you read through the journey of each couples love story and how they made their marriage an everlasting love. It the perfect book and a great wedding present!
