This book was inspired by the mini lessons that my bride, Rosemary, and I taught to couples over the years of our pastoral work. Every lesson presented in this book has been tested and proven.

However, when we began teaching them about marriage priorities, they changed their hearts and have now happily been married for over 35 years.
