About the Book

Current statistics show that only forty percent of marriages stand the test of time...and this statistic includes the approximate ten percent of couples who are simply enduring marriage rather than enjoying it. Why? Because the necessary ingredients that can enhance a blissful home life are missing.

Well written, persuative and inviting, Everyday Marriage Tonic is developed to help couples make their marriage a vibrant relationship, both for those starting out on the wonderful journey or for those who have been married for years. The guidelines set forth in this book can help couples resolve disagreements and resentments, advise those who need a voice when speaking about sensitive or intimidating marital issues and inject life, strength and vitality in a relationship that may be tenuous. It can also serve as a bedrock for those considering divorce, which is always a painful and disruptive experience. In sum, this book can help your marriage grow and prosper, speaks to you and for you on your marital experiences.

Excerpts

...When true happiness and romantic joy do not exist between husband and wife, the right frame of mind required for bringing up children is absent. And unhappy marriage can affect a child by damaging his or her sense of self-esteem.

...Surveys conducted by marriage counselling experts around the world indicate that, of all other considerations, the ten abiding pillars set forth in Every Day Marriage Tonic form the very lifeblood of a living and vibrant marriage. These pillars can help every married man and woman become more involved in making their marriage interesting, enjoyable and rooted in solid foundation.

...Continual communication between husband and wife brings excitement, a sense of belonging and healing to the marriage. Open communication injects freshness and adds candor and vitality to the relationship. This means that each party should be ready and willing to talk...and to initiate discussion over issues, whether they are minor or major.

...Offenses are bound to occur in any human relationship. But what nips offenses in the bud is the power of intimacy. Surely you have heard somebody say, "I can no longer bear the grudge against him because I hurt myself if I hurt hum." This is a key expression of the power of intimacy.

...Be willing to entertain and be cheerful in receiving into your home those who visit. Remember - your face is the first "food" people are presented with when they come to your house!

...The language of ownership must change from "My money, my car, my house, my business..." to "Our money, our car, our house..." Remember, you are working with each other to achieve the common goal of a happy and strong marriage. Therefore, both of you have equal rights to all you share. This is the right and acceptable manner of acting in the eyes of God.

...In fact, the role that sex plays between husband and wife can make or mar marriage. So sweet and so inviting, even the most serious conflict between husband and wife somtimes can be settled at the altar of sex.
