Book Cover & Preview Text
I can count on both hands the number of times we were truly angry with each other,
and those times never lasted more than a few hours. I attribute this to several things
and hope that focus on these things will be helpful to couples in trouble in their relationship.
First, we were as much great friends as lovers. A strong friendship with your mate is
the first requirement for having a lasting marriage. Hormonal love only takes a marriage
so far. For marriage to not just endure but to thrive, it requires companionship
and friendship. Sandy was truly my very best friend in this life. We were life partners
and, in the biblical sense, we truly did become one.
Second, we nearly always put the other person first in our relationship. Not that we
could not be selfish or overlook their needs while focused on our own—we were not
that saintly! But we did care deeply about the feelings of each other and would never
purposefully hurt the feelings of the other. While we might have disagreed from time to
time, we never lost sight of each other’s needs and never let those disagreements get out
of control.
