From the inside flap--
What keeps you and your marriage partner from the intimacy you long for, from that closeness you once felt, which is now only a faded memory? Is it your children? The job? Possessions? Christian service? So many demands for our attention, many of them legitimate. But so little time and energy to do it all and build a relationship too.
Stuart and Jill Briscoe have built a satisfying, vibrant relationship amid the rigors and routines of life. They have experienced the differences of personality, the tug of career and ministry, the loneliness of being apart, the worry of raising children, the unknowns of growing older. But they have learned to pull together when cares and circumstances threaten to pull them apart. They have discovered the security--and the joy--that comes in encouraging each other, praying for each other, holding each other accountable, taking risks.
In this book Stuart and Jill tell in their own unique styles the marvelously funny, touching, and spiritually moving moments of their 30-plus years together. Through these intimate and tender vignettes you will not only come to know the Briscoes better, but you will take away "magnets of truth" to help you and your mate pull together as the team God created you to be.
