Narrated by: Kevin Myers, Marcia Myers

What is the secret to a healthy, happy, fulfilling marriage?

Nearly every marriage starts out happy, and if we're honest, nearly every marriage at some point becomes unhappy. Is there a solution? Can an unhappy marriage really get back to being happy? Can it be truly and authentically happy - even better than it was at first? Kevin and Marcia Myers, who have been married for nearly four decades and went through nearly every challenge a couple can face, emphatically say yes.

Revealing seven practices that offer help and hope for a happy and enduring marriage, The Second Happy is a captivating, practical resource that provides the tools necessary to tune up, overhaul, or even rebuild your marriage. Practices to sustain and strengthen marriage include the following:

• Breaking the quit cycle;
• Picking a fair fight so both people win;
• Keeping disagreements from escalating; and
• Removing pretense from your relationship.

Rooted in Scripture and contemporary insights from the Myers' marriage, as well as real stories from other couples, this revelatory book shows how any marriage can regain depth, meaning, and, yes, happiness.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great for any and all couples, regardless of where relationship is!

Very easy to follow and simple yet resoundingly effected fundamentals to implement immediately. Highly recommend!

I leaned a ton about relationships

I am currently in the dating stage and this was very helpful as I am figuring that out. My biggest takeaway was the elephant concepts, and dealing with it will have stress but it is far less than the pain of not dealing with it. Thank you!

Great insights into building a great marriage

These insights for couples of every walk of life. Kevin & Marcia share vulnerabilities and help others to see that we all have elephants in our families that need to be dealt with.

Actually helpful

This book was incredibly easy to listen to and provided plenty of easy to implement, real-life, clear examples and resolutions. I enjoyed the audio book so much and found it so helpful, I'm ordering a physical copy to read and take notes in. Didn't feel judgy like other marriage books. Didn't "beat a dead horse" with endless repetition.

Worth a Read for anyone at any point of your relationship

The book offers a different outlook then what society teaches. You’re able to listen to the authors’ stories and views, while being able to intertwine some of these practices. I have to say that I am a bit wiser when approaching conversation and more optimistic when we do disagree.

Too religious for my taste but really good advices

It’s very religious and for me was very hard to listen to. I have to say that apart of this there are good advices. I think should be better indicated by audible the category of book

Religious

This is a Christian book but that wasn't very clear from the product details. The tips are also not applicable to non Christians. Unfortunately I can't return it because I bought it on sale.

Unbearable Narration

More evidence that authors should not perform their own work. Any useful information is subsumed by the sickly sweet ain’t we cute narration. After a couple of hours I pulled the plug.

TOO RELIGIOUS, SHAME ON AUDIBLE

I really had a hard time following as the narrator (authors) kept saying "let God do it" kind of phrases

I would love to get a refund but I purchased the book on discount, big mistake.

I don't have an issue with spirituality nor do I have an issue when books intermittently reference a higher power. However, this book might as well be a 2nd bible.

Horrible to listen to, and I'm only half way thru, I may not finish it.
