Happy Spouse... Happy House: The BEST Game Plan for a Winning Marriage

Motivational speakers and a married couple (Pat is cofounder of the Orlando Magic), the Williamses make a convincing case that theirs is the best strategy for marital harmony. Giving credit to the late Dr. Ed Wheat, who made the BEST (Blessing, Edifying, Sharing, and Touching) acronym popular in the 1980s, the author pair scores point after point demonstrating the power of these four principles in keeping a marriage happy. They explain the necessity of first developing and maintaining a Christ-centered marriage, from which couples will gain the strength to persevere through life’s challenges. This resilience will then necessarily spill over into the rest of the home, which in the Williamses’ case includes 19 children. In seemingly effortless two-part harmony, these winsome and warm authors take turns sharing specific insights from the male/female perspective, creating a win-win game plan for every Christian family.
