I love how Kevin Thompson took the time to delve into areas we might not always see as part of a healthy marriage - but that are, in fact, the very basis of a successful life together. He encourages us to stop faking life and to get real with each other as we practice these 8 commitments - I especially enjoyed the practical ways he gave to implement them in each chapter. One of the commitments that popped out to me was 'meekness' - that "combines gentleness with strength, submission with initiative, humility with ability... Learning to stay in control, to fight wisely and to love even when we disagree." So many great truths in this book and in the end, he pulls them all together based on scripture [that I really should have seen coming... you'll see what I mean when you read the book!]
