Positive focus

I think this book is a simple, but poignant reminder for couples no matter where they are at in their journey of married life, to focus on the positive aspects of both their mate and their marriage. I enjoyed the book so much that I have given it as a wedding gift and as an anniversary gift.

The Twelve Gifts in Marriage by Charlene Costanzo

Life is ordinary, it has its ebb and flow. Loving makes it extraordinary. This book holds the simple secrets of sustaining life-long loving. The story reminds couples to use twelve inherent gifts to keep their love alive through the course of their marriage. As a therapist, I keep this book in the waiting room to share with waiting clients. I use it as an assignment for couples to read helping them find their way back to each other. I gift it to newlyweds so they can remember the daily practice of magical acts that will nurture real love. Diana W. Baysinger, LMFT Marriage and Family Therapist Private Practice- Tempe, Az.

MARRIAGE ... A TRULY HOLY UNION

A WOW',the story,the pictures, and especially the ending with the couples comments. My eyes were not only reading but tearing as I reviewed the 41 yrs. my "Bride", and I have spent together.The bonds of marriage are so important,in ups and downs,through the years and this book does it all.Should be mandatory reading for ALL couples of any age especially those about to embark into the life of marriage.MAY THIS BOOK STAY IN CIRCULATION FOR YEARS TO COME.........Ed Valvano

Affirming and Hopeful

I was fortunate to get a preview of this new book, and was touched by the pictures of the couples chosen by the author to accompany each gift. One picture brought a laugh, another a long sigh, and yet another a few tears. Each picture evoked a personal story, written in the years my husband and I have been together. Some stories made me thankful for the gifts my husband and I have faithfully used in our marriage, and others made me thankful that we both have gifts yet to be realized.
