My Review:
There's nothing more refreshing then getting up every morning and facing my husband with a smile. A smile- because I know we are "ok". After being together for 22 years and 19 of those married, things can get a little stale to say the least. Then add to that the challenges of every day life and time alone can get to be a thing of the past especially since we have four children.
The authors of 10 Great Dates have put together a plethora of information designed to keep your love alive and it all starts with these basic principles:
Appreciating your differences
Experiencing God together
Facing the storms of life
Connecting through prayer
This book takes the guess work out of it all so much so that the authors have added suggestions for before, during, and after the date as well. If we don't connect spiritually first we really are tending to do everything in vain. This book is the "go to" book for this area of your marriage.
**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from Bethany House Publishers.
