Mission: Invincible Marriage—A Battle-Tested Guide to an Enduring Relationship

by Jason Redman, Erica Redman

From Jason Redman, the former Navy SEAL and New York Times bestselling author of The Trident, writing with his wife, Erica, a battle-tested guide to marital bliss, drawing on the lessons of elite warriors to build a winning relationship, no matter the challenges and traumas that life sends your way. Featuring a foreword by Gary Sinise.

The divorce rate among Navy SEALs is over 90 percent, and the rate among severely wounded warriors is even higher. Erica and Jason Redman knew their marriage faced an uphill climb, because Jason is both.

In 2007, Jason’s patrol was ambushed by a machine gunners’ nest in Iraq. Thirty-seven surgeries, 1,200 stitches, and a grueling years-long rehab would follow. Despite all that—plus the daily demands of raising three children and running a successful business together—Jason and Erica’s marriage has remained invincible.

Every day, you make choices that either build up your relationship or leave it exposed and vulnerable to attack. The highest-performing warrior teams pay attention to developing muscle-memory habits, and your marriage can benefit from the same focus.

In The Invincible Marriage, Jason and Erica share the tools they use to lay the foundational beliefs and communication skills a marriage needs to last for life. Each chapter helps readers develop a key tenet of successful relationship-building. Among

I received an advanced reader copy of this book through a giveaway, and I was positively surprised. It is very well written and has clear suggestions/concepts to focus on when building a strong foundation in marriage. As I was unfamiliar with the authors’ story, there are a few times in the book that I had to pause to figure out where this example fit in the timeline of their relationship (tiny bit confusing, but they do reference the year when sharing personal examples so you have a decent idea of what stage of relationship they were in even if you don’t know anything about them prior to picking up the book.).
They also reference other relationship experts throughout; I think it would be a nice touch to include a “suggested reading” list at either the beginning or end of the book highlighting some of these other professionals.
Overall, I enjoyed it very much and would be willing to recommend it to others.
Happy reading!

Overall, I found this book to be insightful and interesting, full of useful tips and ideas on how to keep a marriage on track.

But, I do have one very major issue with it, at least as found in the advance readers copy I read: the writing, which is done by the husband and wife duo of Jason & Erica Redman. They will each write in the same paragraph, changing the object and subject pronouns, sometimes even within the same sentence. I found that incredibly annoying.

This book was loaned twice based on title alone. Yet this is a memory like read about navy seal and his wife journey, relationship, marriage but not what I was seeking for research to assist with I see her support group.

I skimmed thru book.
