The Top Ten Rules To Marriage

I was reading a post on Facebook from a friend of mine one day that said "looks like we're definitely getting divorced, not sure how we got here, but I'm very sad". I sat there for the longest time and thought about my own marriage and how a few short years ago my wife and I were in this exact same place. I started remembering how sad I was too. I thought perhaps I could offer some words of advice and so we sat down and wrote a blog called "Top Ten Rules Every Marriage Should Live By". Within a few days the blog had gone viral. Within a month if you "Googled" the "top ten rules to marriage" out of over 300 million results, our blog had reached number one. Countless people asked us to write an extended version, in more detail. This book is the extended, more candid and detailed version of that blog. The Top Ten Rules to Marriage That EVERY Couple Should Live By. Learning how to state committed to one person is a challenge in this day and age. It doesn't matter whether you're gay or straight, there are key elements in a marriage that must be present for it to be successful. Our marriage was ending. We both could have walked away and said we gave it an honest effort and no one would have faulted us otherwise. Yet, we decided instead to try something new. We decided to sit down and talk about the things that led to our marital deterioration, and write down rules that we could both live by to try and continue to get our relationship back on track. We did this and now a few short years later here we are, better and stronger than ever.
