Summary: This book should be given out to every newlywed.
Review: I bought this book after 22 years of marriage and it was a wonderful resource. The book contains several stories of married couples who struggled through some VERY hard times to stay married. It provides a rare keyhole peak into the intimate details and struggles of couples' lives.

And it proves that the great majority of good marriages come at a cost - of much self-sacrifice, letting go, prayer and a deep desire to remain with your spouse, even when the going gets *extremely* rough. It includes stories of verbal and physical abuse and marriages healed and restored through prayer and patience.

I highly recommend it.

Review: This book is a collection of true stories about marriages in trouble and how the couples overcame these problems. There were various problems like abuse, alcoholism, illness, infidelity, and depression. This book showed that despite the worst of problems, things will get better if we keep focused on God. This books provides inspiration for my own marriage. The commentary at the end of each story by Gary Smalley was very helpful, too, in analyzing what went wrong in each relationship and how the couple worked through their problems.
