Calm & Bright by Autumn Macarthur
5.0
Marriage isn't easy and it takes work on both parts.
This story is about two people who get married but bring expectations in from their past which aren't healthy. They do things and say things and later regret them.
Can they get back what they lost? Can their family be a family again?
Will they let God work in their lives and not find fault in each other?
These are some tough questions and in this story, the author, Autumn Macarthur, does a great job working through them. There is a quote from the book I really appreciate, I feel it applies to every marriage. So often we want the other person to change, not realizing we also need to change. -
"A happy marriage wasn't about quietly and bitterly waiting for her husband to fulfill her dream. It was about being partners. True teamwork. Learning each other's love languages. Sharing the joys and the burdens."
She also brings wonderful life lessons from God's Word in this story.
I highly recommend you pick this book up.
I was given this book by the author for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
