Strengths Based Marriage

This book about marriage came at a perfect time. Marriage is hard. It's not intended to be easy, because, after the fall of man, our selfish hearts play a part in making life more difficult everywhere. I don't think it is the "natural" thing to do, to not ever think of one self and want to just do what is best for us.

Being married helps us focus on other people, especially our spouses, and this book, "Strengths Based Marriage" by Jimmy Evans and Allen Kelsey helps us focus on the strengths in our spouses instead of their weaknesses. It's sort of like having a child who might be autistic, or have learning struggles (of which I have two of them that I know of so far). If you focus on building up their strengths, often times they naturally become stronger in other issues that they face as well, that aren't their strengths. It's a learning balance.

It's the same in our marriages and that is exactly what Evans and Kelsey show us clearly.

I love this book and would recommend it to anyone who wants to better their marriage.

I received this book from BookLookBloggers for free in exchange for my honest review.
