Book excerpt: On the day we get married, life looks perfect. We dream of wedded bliss. Our vows are said with such conviction and promise. We mean them with all of our hearts. After all, our marriages are going to be the most wonderful story. Then life hits and the storms come and our wedding day can seem like a distant memory. How do we keep saying "I do" and not "I don't" or "I can't"? Life can be hard, but our marriages don't have to be. Sharing their own story of difficulty and coming face to face with the reality of each vow, Che and Shireen share how their dependence on God kept them saying "I do" through each season of marriage. With God on their side, their marriage was made stronger. Just as strongly as they repeated the words "I do" on a beautiful June day seven years ago, they still say "I do" today-and you can too!

Download or read book I Still Do written by Dave Harvey and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lasting marriages are built one defining moment at a time. The moment of blame. The moment of weakness. When your spouse suffers. When dreams disappoint. When the kids leave the nest. It's how we think and behave toward one another in moments like these that determines whether our marriage endures or falters. Ultimately, these are invitations from God to consider our direction and pursue transformation. With 37 years of marriage and 33 years of pastoring under his belt, Dave Harvey has identified those life-defining moments of a post-newlywed marriage. He wants to help couples recognize them in their own relationships so that they can take a proactive, godly approach to resolving conflicts, holding one another up as change inevitably happens, and ensuring that their marriage survives and thrives. Whether your relationship is maturing gracefully, just needs a tune-up, or you and your spouse are locked in conflict and your future seems uncertain, Dave Harvey has encouragement and practical tools to help strengthen what remains and build a rock-solid union for the days to come.
