Summary

Using his trademark humor, Dan Seaborn challenges couples to assess the “friendship level” of their marriage and encourages them to go deeper. He explains how to overcome petty arguments by not trying to "fix" our spouse. Dan also touches on the value of taking good care of our bodies and cultivating emotional oneness by treasuring our spouse’s extended family.
