Experience the blessings of an imperfect marriage. We all - at one time or another - have opportunities to act right when our spouses act wrong. There are no perfect marriages or perfect spouses. We know that having a good marriage requires effort and hard work. Yet we often don't know how to continue to love when we are angry, hurt, scared, or just plain irritated. Nor are we sure what that kind of love is supposed to look like.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 49
"Over the last four decades, I've met one-on-one with thousands of men. Most of them know that Jesus promised "a rich and satisfying life" (John 10:10), but too many are confused about what that looks like. In fact, I'd estimate that 90 percent of Christian men lead lukewarm, stagnant, defeated lives—and they hate it. When men try to put into words what's holding them back, they invariably describe one or more of seven symptoms. But you can experience a powerful life transformed by Christ. I'll tell you how."

Spring, summer, winter, fall. Marriages are perpetually in a state of transition, continually moving from one season to another—perhaps not annually, as in nature, but just as certainly and consistently. The seasons of marriage come and go. Each one holds the potential for emotional health and happiness, and each one has its challenges. The purpose of this book is to describe these recurring seasons of marriage, help you and your spouse identify which season your marriage is in, and show you how to enhance your marriage in all four seasons.

Great book for dealing with difficult situations
What made the experience of listening to Joy That Lasts the most enjoyable?
Gary Smalley has a great message in this book that (as he readily admits) was revealed to his wife, Norma, and just articulated and refined by him. With complete Scriptural reference, Gary shares how the trials and suffering we so often complain about can be the very tools that equip us to get through future situations and to build relationships with others as we help them deal with things we've gone through ourselves. The
What other book might you compare Joy That Lasts to and why?
From Anger to Intimacy, which also helps find good from bad situations.
