Description:

Recall that moment on a road trip with your spouse, when you reach a corner and one of you calls out, “Turn left.” The other shakes his head and says, “No, it’s right.”

If you were in separate vehicles, you would part ways and check out your own destination. This is a couple corner.

As you read this book, you will discover 52 uniquely different corners we encounter as couples. You'll begin as if you were taking a drive. The easiest corners start in first gear. Truly brave and daring couples will progress all the way to the final choices. When you do, you’ll be speeding down the highway of marriage in fifth gear, which moves you forward the fastest, but also contains the biggest risks.

When you are ready, turn over the engine, pop the clutch, and get started.

From the Author

My world turned upside down the day my Dad died in a car accident. It happened one week prior to my parent's court date to begin divorce proceedings. I clearly saw how little I had learned about happy couples and yet I craved this knowledge.

As a result, an obsession began. I hunted for couples with strong marriages to teach me and show me. Over the course of 35 years, I met couple after couple who taught me how to find joy within marriage. This book reveals my discoveries to you.

I don't share this because I have all the answers, my husband and I join you for this journey. I share this information, because I've discovered that not everyone has access to these great couples. It's my responsibility to not just live what I'm learning, but also to share it with those who desire to find the joy God has for them within their marriage.
