My Review of..

30-Minute Read ~ Stress-Proof Your Marriage by Cory & Heidi Busse

This book is a short read, but a very good one..The authors (who by the way are kind of like my husband & I) get to the heart of "stress-proofing" your marriage..

Mr. & Mrs. Busse start off by letting you know that great marriages are NOT always blissful..I can relate to this because when I got married I thought that marriage was supposed to be all "warm & fuzzy", like a fairytale..Boy was I wrong!! And in the book the authors point this out in good detail..They are not counselors or psychologists, just a married couple who's been through it..

There are 10 short chapters to the book..Starting with the chapter called "Talk" to the last chapter "Laugh"..Mr. & Mrs. Busse bring a good dose of humor, religion, and advice in these chapters..I don't want to go all through them or else I'd give most of the book away :)

What I enjoyed the most in this "little" book are the sayings by different people..They range from Pope John Paul II to George Orwell..At the beginning there are little bits of humor to start you off, and the chapters all end with a "Take Away" message..It's something you can take away & use if you choose..

I would recommend this 30 minute book if your marriage is stressed or not..It's very informative, and very helpful..I enjoyed it tremendously!!
