Publisher's summary

Marriage is a bond that requires hard work from two people in order to find happiness - find all the tips and tools to a happily-ever-after using the guidance of a trusted relationship expert.

Beloved marriage counselor Pastor Cal Roberson captivates millions of viewers with his eccentric personality and unabashed yet effective marriage advice - and Marriage Ain’t for Punks is no different.

This book is a relationship gamechanger. It’s a straightforward and unapologetic dive into why people fail or struggle at one of the most popular and sought-after unions in society. But this is more than a book about marriage - it’s a book about how to manage life with another person. The principles and methods Roberson provides are not theoretical or hearsay but tested and proven. The book will methodically probe into the hearts of listeners and force them to confront themselves and be accountable for their own emotions and actions.

Even though some marriages look like a hot mess, transparency, honesty, and downright fearlessness are the traits that make a great marriage. A great marriage is about refusing to allow pettiness to destroy the loving connection couples share. These people are not weaklings. They are not quitters. They know that marriage ain’t for punks!

Critic reviews

“Pastor Cal’s insights translate immediately into ways we can protect and improve even a troubled marriage - if we practice his version of ‘CPR.’ I can’t imagine anyone, single or married, who would not be inspired, or would not profit, from the wisdom in this book.” (Pepper Schwartz, PhD, New York Times best-selling author of The Normal Bar: The Surprising Secrets of Happy Marriages)

“As a prominent urban radio host, we talk about relationships a lot on our shows and when it’s time to call on an expert, there aren’t too many ‘experts’ I trust who talk the talk, walk the walk, and lead by example - but Pastor Cal is it. Marriage Ain’t for Punks is consistent to what we love and trust about Pastor Cal. It’s realistic, honest (brutally, when needed), and practical. I honestly wish I had the type of guidance shared in this book a few years back...but I’m glad I have it now.” (Nina Brown, radio and TV host)

“I’m not a huge fan of counseling, but Pastor Cal makes me look at it differently. He’s such a down to earth guy and breaks things down in a way that empowers you and makes you want to better yourself.” (Ty Law, Pro Football Hall of Fame, class of 2019)

Incredible roadmap for a successful marriage

Although I’m not married or even dating, I now have a beautiful roadmap for a successful marriage. Calvin’s insight on communication, shared and unshared interests are brilliant.

This is definitely a book I will be purchasing a hard copy of this book to give to my sons who’re both in their first year of marriage.

Bravo Calvin bravo!!

Recommend for couples

This is an excellent read about relationships and the struggle in marriage. It’s about the give and take in relationships and what we do to keep relationships going. It’s a really really good testimony about fortitude & persistence.

Marriage really ain’t for punks.

The Greatest Marriage Book Ever!

This is definitely one of the greatest books on marriage that I have ever read. And, I have read many books on marriage. Mr. Roberson is very practical and down to earth. I love the stories that he shares, they are real life situations that anyone can relate to. It is truly, marriage counseling in a book. This book really help me to understand where my marriage is and how to move forward. Everyone in a relationship, married or unmarried would benefit from reading or listening to this book. Another thing I really enjoyed, was that Mr. Roberson didn't sugar coat anything or give false hope. He acknowledged that some couples will end up getting a divorce. Mr. Roberson address how to navigate through divorce. This is truly a book on relationships and I think it is beneficial to anyone in a relationship. This is a must read!!!!!
