Product Description

Dr. Gary Smalley reveals the true foundation of every great marriage.

In I Promise, America's foremost marriage expert comes to a startling new conclusion: great marriages are built on a foundation of trust, not behavioral skills. So it's not enough to learn your partner's love language, become proficient in conflict resolution, learn to control your emotions, or even become an expert in the bedroom.

If your spouse does not feel safe enough to open up his or her heart without fear of being judged, criticized, blamed, or rejected, nothing you do will be effective. It's only when couples feel emotionally safe that they can truly become one as God intended. Based on ten years of research, Dr. Gary Smalley shares five heartfelt promises you can make to your mate that are guaranteed to build trust and help your spouse become the true soul mate, lover, and friend you desire.

Customer Reviews

I Promise book
This book is excellent and would be good for any couple to read whether they are preparing for marriage or have been married for a while. It is one of the most helpful and practical books I have read. I highly recommend it for any couple who wants to have a good marriage or improve the one they are in.

Real Marital Love
This book is about real marital love. It is very direct and to the point about loving and caring in a marriage. This should be required reading before couples get married and then again every five years. After 40 years of marriage we found this book still has much to add to a loving relationship.

Wonderful!
This book was recommended on the website for the movie, "Fireproof" (www.fireproofthemovie.com). For anyone who's read Fireproof and would like a step-by-step example to work on your marriage ~ this is it! This book is equally useful for a couple that is newly engaged or married, in the "middle" of their married life, or seasoned pros. It has wonderful information and principles regardless if your marriage is strong or floundering, if both mates are equally yoked or imbalanced. Parts of this book stress our personal relationship with Christ and how it affects our relationship with our mate. I like that Dr. Smalley writes to both husbands and wives (with particular portions for each). This was inspiring!
