No Ordinary Marriage

"What most couples don’t realize is that we don’t train for the first ten miles of marriage; we train for the last three. Seemingly without warning, many marriages fall down in the middle of the race. Marriages that seemed fine a few months or years earlier fall victim to the grueling difficulty of the marathon. Couples who had every intention of finishing their race together either run at  different paces or quit altogether.


The way to an ordinary marriage is the path of least resistance. If you want an extraordinary marriage, you will have to choose it."

These are from the book Beyond Ordinary: When a Good Marriage Just Isn't Good Enough by Justin & Trisha Davis. I want to buy it already! Sigh... At this point I know I want...no, I CHOOSE an extraordinary marriage for us. So I really am hoping to absorb everything I can on how to have not just a good, but the best marriage I can have.

I already outline the books I wanted to buy in my wishlist, and I'm definitely adding this one. (24 items and counting!) I asked my hubby yet if I could buy the Kindle, but he wants me to wait a little longer. So maybe for now I'm just going to order The Love Dare by Alex Kendrick as I wanted to do the 40-day challenge which was featured in Fireproof. And Unglued Devotional: 60 Days of Imperfect Progress by Lysa TerKeurst since I prefer my devotionals in paper instead of the electronic copy. So, wish me luck. I'm going to call Johnny Air later.
