"If a couple were to read these case studies aloud to one another (one reads while the other gives the reader a foot rub), and then discuss the principles and practices together, it would turn into a very practical (and inexpensive) form of marriage therapy. There are literally dozens of great ideas for solving problems within the pages of this book."---Larry Tippetts, author of A Practical Guide on the Moral Issue

"Carma Sirrine has taken a practical approach to inspire healthy and happy relationships. Surely everyone will find ways to improve their marriage when reading this book.... I know I did."---Senator Wayne L. Niederhauser, Utah State Senate

"At a time when the definition of marriage is being argued, and the institution itself is being questioned, I found evidence on every page that not just good marriages, but great marriages exist in numerous homes.... Kudos to Carma for her efforts to find and put into print these many examples of how to improve our marriage relationships!"---Elaine Wright Christensen, author of At the Edges and I Have Learned 5 Things
