Thirty years of marriage

Stop making your spouse the patient.

Christopher and Charmaine Respass draw from thirty years of marriage, hard lessons, honest mistakes, biblical wisdom, and plenty of grace to offer practical help for couples who want something better.

This is not a book written by two people pretending they got marriage right. It is the story and wisdom of a husband and wife who learned that marriage gets better when you allow God to start treating you.
