We are used to thinking of a “happily ever after”
deal when considering marriage; seldom do we realize that marriage vows also
include words like “poor” or “sickness.”
Death, triumphs, financial
difficulties, sacrifice, illnesses, addictions and affairs are just some of the
circumstances that several couples have faced. This is a compilation of their
stories and about love that endures despite anything; they share how their life
had to change radically, and how a new purpose for marriage was found.
Because
of the depth, and even though the stories are short, I generally had to pause
after each one. I laughed and cried more than once. After each story, the
person who compiled the book gives a short insight about the situations
exemplified, along with biblical principles to learn from.
There is nothing fancy about this book. It’s just
mere reality and an eye-opener. It’s what any one of use might face one day but
would never like to. And in that sincerity, it is also one of the best books I
have read. Any couple, whether engaged, married or separated should read this
book – it is an excellent counseling material. We will all learn about what the
real deal is – true love.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from
Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.
