Making Marriage Work

I've been married 7 months and while most of it has been up, there have been downs too. Whenever I am frustrated with my husband, instead of taking in out on him, I read a section of this book and inevitably, the exact frustration I am experiencing is addressed in that section. Usually, the solution is I need to show grace to my husband and humble myself, which is not easy to do as a very independent woman. ( I was 39 when I got married and this is my first and hopefully only marriage.) After God brings it to my attention through Joyce's writing, I'm much more willing and able to do those things for both my husband and me. God has blessed Joyce with a gift of frankness in her writing and God has blessed me and my marriage through reading this book and applying it to my life. I pray for the same to you. :)
