Advice offered with wisdom, humor, and a scriptural perspective

Having met Rev. Crone at BookExpo in New York, I suspected his book would be filled with personality and wisdom, and it was exactly what I expected. This wonderful addition to the field of marriage advice teaches with humor, common sense, scriptural power, and confidence. Anyone really can carry out these steps, even if his or her spouse is unwilling to participate in the process. Each of the eleven steps is presented from a Biblical background, and offers the sensible advice that if we really understood God's plan, we could avoid many of the problems our marriages face today. The first principle is to understand that God made men and women different, and he did so on purpose. Understanding what should be obvious, but often forgotten, helps us to remember that our spouses haven't set out to drive us crazy; they're just being who God made them. He illustrates this humorously with an example of the ways men and women shop. Rev. Crone continues on, discussing love as an action, romance, communication, reconciliation, honor, intimacy, men as leaders in the home, women who honor their God-given role and building a strong family. The book is written in a light, conversational style with warmth, supportive language, and a comforting tone. The Fulfilling Marriage can be used by couples just starting out, wanting to strengthen an already good marriage, or committing to repairing a damaged one. The quizzes at the end make it a valuable family home evening tool for couples without children, and the humor helps troubled couples laugh together as they learn. To get a feel for Rev. Crone's style, visit the publisher's page.

GREAT book. Lots of good tips

Thank you for putting your "A Marriage Built to Last" into a book format. It was a real lifesaver (Marriage saver) for us. It really gets down to the real problems facing 20th century marriages ours included. At times you put a humorous spin on reality which really helped us to see the obstacles we face daily. It has helped us identify the real enemy facing our marriage everyday (consumerism, business, etc.). We now know the real enemy and it's not our spouse, we realize it's ok to be different and learned to embrace those God given differences which has strengthened our relationship immensely.
