This book is awesome! Impactful application/insights for the newly married, and wonderful reminders for the more seasoned. I love the way that Angelo and TJ share a vulnerability that shows both the trials and tribulations of marriage. It was fun to read the conversational tone of the writing. It feels like you are in the room with them as they share wisdom around a fireplace with a hot cup of coffee. The words in these pages are just a small reflection of the Christ-centered relationship they have. To God be the Glory!
