Publisher's summary

Great marriages don't just happen - they're made, intentionally, day by day. Yet most of us enter the covenant of marriage thinking that the role of spouse will be easy, natural, effortless. Rarely is this true. In fact, the number one cause of divorce isn't adultery or finances or disagreements. It's apathy - a lack of intentional emotional, physical, and mental investment in the relationship. With engaging stories and clear, simple language, pastor Kevin A. Thompson explains the three critical roles of a spouse - friend, partner, and lover - and shows how to nurture those roles in order to keep a marriage healthy and strong. Using solid biblical principles, he helps couples understand how to grow their friendship, be a supportive partner through the good times and the bad, and develop a healthy and satisfying sex life.

Friends, Partners, and Lovers offers essential insight for couples at any stage of marriage but will be especially helpful to those who are struggling and those who are engaged or newly married and looking to start their marriage on strong footing.

Friends, Partners & Lovers

Loved it, to the very end. Wish I was more opened to and read it years ago. While a perhaps a Christian themed foundational background (the author is a pastor) the content has applications for anyone desiring a strong successful relationship or marriage. All relationships will have their trials. This is a highly recommended book for anyone seeking to make the most of a committed partnership.

Amazing!

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The author’s perspective is very similar to that of mine, yet his words are more well articulated than I would have been able to explained. Whether the content is new to you or that is something you have already learned, it is important that we listen to these reminders to help us preserve a strong, healthy, and forever lasting marriage.

A MUST read for newlyweds and marriages.

I wish I would have read this book as a newlywed. After a 20 year marriage that ended in divorce, I know if I had read this with my spouse, we could have held on. Marriage doesn't have a guidebook, but I feel it needs one. This book was such a great guide on how to keep your marriage together and gave very practical advice and examples. Kevin really shows all sides of a marriage without the expectation of traditional gender roles. It was above anything, about partnership. This book should be read by every newlywed couple. I will encourage my children to read this before getting married.
