Married for Real: Building a Loving, Powerful Life Together

by Tamara George, Tamara George, Rob Simbeck (With)

Eddie and Tamara George are living the American dream—together. From humble backgrounds, Eddie and Tamara have each risen to national prominence—for Eddie, an award-winning football and broadcasting career, and for Tamara, a rewarding singing and television career—and they believe that their marriage deserves much of the credit.  

In Married For Building a Loving, Powerful Life Together , Eddie and Tamara draw on their personal stories to guide you to a more successful marriage. Throughout the book, they speak honestly and openly about issues that all couples face—money, sex, power, quality time, faithfulness, and emotional baggage from former relationships. For each situation discussed, Eddie and Tamara give their individual perspective and then, together, address how to deepen your relationship through those obstacles to help you grow as a couple.  

These are the principles that helped them build a strong, fulfilling relationship—and they can help you, too.

"Jerome and I thoroughly enjoyed  Married for Real . The more we read, the more we appreciated it—and them. In the book, Taj and Eddie allow themselves to be transparent by openly revealing their pasts and showing us what it took to have the happy, healthy marriage they have now. Married For Real is a must read for any individual or couple who wants a fresh relatable perspective on having a meaningful relationship with a strong foundation."—Jerome and Trameka Bettis

"Eddie and Taj George are living the American Dream. They are talented and have worked hard. But their staying power comes from the strength of their marriage.  Married for Real will help you create a successful partnership as well."—Jeff Fisher, Former Tennessee Titans Head Coach

They share some good pearls; respect you guys. God bless you. I was at Fork Union Military Academy with Eddie; it was a lot of fun to hear some of Eddie's story & hear it from him.

This was a great book to give me positive things to think about in my marriage of less than one year. Taj and Eddie George write together and separately in this book, giving individual perspectives, as well as a unified one. They discuss important issues which have an affect on relationships such as faith, money, sex, and how to work on yourself in order to improve your marriage. It was refreshing to hear from a real couple. I liked this book.

I really enjoyed this motivational book about how people of faith look at marriage today. Eddie and Tamara shared their personal struggles as individuals as well as their tips on how to stay committed and strong as a couple. I loved this book! If anything, I would have liked more examples of what they do now to keep their marriage strong. :)

It seemed a little superficial, but did provide some good questions to ponder.
