A small book with a large message. Several couples give their meaning of "marrage" and "love." The love these couples have for each other is very heartwarming. The CD that accompanied the book is absolutely beautiful!

Amazing that after all the years (20+) the CD included with the book in my personal library still plays this iconic song written back in 1990 and used in many wedding ceremonies since then. Little did the Chapmans know that just several years later they would tragically lose their adopted five-year-old daughter Maria. And in the midst of that start a wonderful non-for-profit organization and ministry called New Hope helping families with adoptions. Marriage is tough and hard work. That is the message of this little book and song along with a deep and abiding commitment needed by each party. My only slight beef with the book is the pages are somewhat hard to read if in cursive lettering. As I mentioned, the CD was included along with the words to the song.
