About the author

Charles Causey's family comes from Hangingdog, North Carolina, a quaint community hidden deep inside the Smoky Mountains. As a boy he ran through lush, green fields alongside his grandfather’s Black Angus cows and swam in the cool creeks and lakes - always with a wary eye out for water moccasins. The tales he heard down those beautifully wooded country roads formed in him a love for people, the outdoors, and good stories, usually told by World War II veterans while rocking together on their front porches. Now Charles has the privilege to serve veterans every day as a military chaplain stationed in Washington D.C. He is married and has four children. His website is: causeybooks.com.

Reviews

[Heather · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book would be best used the way it's intended: in a workshop with your spouse. I read it by myself. It gave me a lot to think about.

This book is based on Christianity. I am agnostic, but I think the biblical quotes were perfect for the subject matter and look at them like any other inspirational quotes.

I liked the vignettes about married couples. I certainly saw myself and my husband in them. I liked the true confessions and the fact that people were willing to tell their embarrassing stories.

The workbook format would really be useful if used the way the author intended. I don't know how I'd get my husband to read any of this or do any of it with his hectic schedule and thinking that everything is hunky-dory! I will just have to take it upon myself to try to be better by incorporating some of the ideas involved in this book.

Several topics are covered: Committment, Kindness, Honesty, Forgiveness, Sacrifice, and Togetherness. These cover the most basic ideas behind a good marriage. Talking about money, family, etc is not the focus. The print is quite small, so beware that.

All in all, I found some useful information in this book and will try to be a better wife by using some of the ideas.
