Book Review: From This Day Forward by Craig & Amy Groeschel

Hollywood loves to make great love stories. Whether it is on television or a movie theater, people will watch a love story. Some people will read about a good love story and then go the midnight showing of the movie adaptation.

The problem with Hollywood is they give us a fairy tale ending to these love stories unless you are watching a Nicholas Sparks movie. A man and woman get together, after a few bits of drama in between, then they live happily ever after. Truth is sometimes marriage is not always happily ever after. There are struggles and there are conflicts in marriage.

No one marries a perfect spouse and live in a perfect home yet Hollywood gives us images of this when it is not absolutely true. Is there any real advice for single adults and young married couples? Craig Groeschel along with his wife, Amy, have written a simple book called, From This Day Forward, which deals with five areas that every couple needs to strive for in their marriage. Those areas are:

1. Seek God

2. Fight fair

3. Have fun

4. Stay pure

5. Never give up

Craig wrote most of the book with Amy doing a little follow-up regarding the topic Craig wrote. This book was very open and honest as the Groeschel's talk about their marriage and their own struggles in marriage. This is a very simple book for anyone to read, but not gospel-centered.

Thanks BookLook Bloggers for letting me review this book.
