7 Ways to Save Your Marriage

A buddy and myself wrote this book, "7 Ways To Save Your Marriage." We never tried to get it published, mainly because he died. Great guy. I was reminded of it recently when a friend told me he'd filed for divorce. Why? Not to be judgmental but I guess I am. Pretty flimsy reasons--some lessons to be aware of, mainly that when people divorce and especially if they remarry, they usually trade one set of problems for another. All people deserve the good things that can happen to them but getting there, if divorce is a possibility, is a mission where "smart" sure helps. 

 The book's premise was that most marriages that end in divorce could be saved if three things came together: (1)couple loves each other, whatever that means to them and love means different things to different people. (2) couple is willing to work hard in counselling. MOST AREN'T, because you have to do things that you don't want to do.  (3) No third party is involved. If there is, has to be faced and handled. 

This is good stuff. God bless.
