Synopsis
**A new updated edition is now available.**. Do you want a great marriage? Most people do. Yet, few people have great marriages, in large part because it is so easy to settle for the mundane in marriage. God did not intend for marriage to be boring and ordinary. In Tools for a Great Marriage, marriage and family life educator, William Batson, uses expert wisdom and practical common sense to show how several indispensable marital tools can help any couple build a satisfying, fun, loving, and lasting marriage.Couples will learn how to: turn their bad talk into love talk; make their personality differences work for them; practice the Principle of Satisfaction in their sex life; defeat the enemy of every marriage selfishness; turn stormy times into opportunities to love each other more; keep conflicts from turning into nasty, knockdown, drag-out fights.Tools for a Great Marriage gives you the blueprint for building your marriage on God's principles in a format that is simple, clear, practical, and easy to apply. At the end of each chapter there is a section called Tool Time for Couples containing follow-up questions which set the stage for great couple times together. A resource section in the back of the book includes additional tools for maintaining a great marriage. The Foreword was written by Dr. Gary Chapman, bestselling author of “The 5 Love Language#.”
