Joy That Lasts

Discover what it means to truly trust God, and how a deep relationship with him can bring life and joy into marriage.

Renowned family counselor, seminar speaker, and author Gary Smalley gives insight into five truths that can transform marriage. Sharing openly from his own relationship with his wife, Norma, Gary shows why both husbands and wives need
* An independent energy source to recharge their spiritual batteries
* Someone each can talk to about anything and at any time
* An understanding of their emotions and what they mean
* Reassurance that their trials have meaning
* A shared mission they can strive for together

Known for many bestsellers, including Love Is a Decision, Smalley now offers steps for understanding the transforming power in life's challenges, claiming the golden key lies in realizing that the source of life, rather than the gifts of life, brings contentment.
