I never want
to be in a place where my marriage is on autopilot.
I love the
comfort and the second-nature feeling that has come with time, and I’m excited
to see the way that grows over the years… but I also don’t want to let that be
enough and then wake up one day and realize I should have been doing things
very differently.
I like to
read a couple of marriage books per year for this reason. Sometimes they repeat
the same general information, but they’re always a good reminder.
Making
Marriage Beautiful, by Dorothy Greco, is a really great book which also happens
to offer some unique insight to the table. While this happens to be one of the
very few spiritually-based marriage books I’ve read written by a woman, she
also talks about a few points I haven’t read about in any of my other books in
the past.
On top of
that, Greco has interviewed several different couples to provide even more
perspective than just her own—a bi-racial couple, a couple who battled an
affair together, and more—to create an even deeper look at the topics she
discusses in each chapter.
I do
recommend this book, and best of all, I really feel like I recommend it to
everyone—the newly engaged, the happily married, the not-so-happily married,
the empty-nesters, the soon-to-be-grandparents—everybody.
Happy
reading!
