How safe is your marriage? The answer may surprise you. The biggest threat to any marriage isn’t infidelity or miscommunication. The greatest enemy is ordinary. Ordinary marriages lose hope. Ordinary marriages lack vision. Ordinary marriages give in to compromise. Ordinary is the belief that this is as good as it will ever get. And when we begin to settle for ordinary, it’s easy to move from “I do” to “I’m done.”
Justin and Trisha Davis know just how dangerous ordinary can be. In this beautifully written book, Justin and Trisha take us inside the slow fade that occurred in their own marriage—each telling the story from their own perspective. Together, they reveal the mistakes they made, the work they avoided, the thoughts and feelings that led to an affair and near divorce, and finally, the heart-change that had to occur in both of them before they could experience the hope, healing, and restoration of a truly extraordinary marriage.
Justin and Trisha are pastors, bloggers, authors, and teachers in Nashville, TN where they reside with their three boys. Justin is campus and teaching pastor at Cross Point Community Church--recently named the 6th fastest growing church in the country.
The Davises are co-founders of RefineUs Ministries, an organization started as a response to the call and passion God placed in their heart for marriage and families. Through their blog (refineus.org), their marriage coaching program (CoachUs) and their marriage mentoring program (MentorUs) they hope to move couples closer to their spouse as they individually move closer to Christ.
They are sought after speakers at conferences, churches and retreats. Justin and Trisha both attended Lincoln Christian University in Lincoln, IL where they met and fell in love. Justin received his BA degree in Christian Education in Lincoln and Trisha later earned her degree from Indiana University.
With the rare free time that they can scrounge up, you will find Justin and Trisha going on walks, eating at PF Changs, or having coffee together; and sometimes all three at once.
