Our culture loves romantic books and movies that end with that “happily ever after” moment. However, most (if not all) married couples soon realize that while romance creates moments of happiness, it doesn’t guarantee the “ever after” part. Kerry and Chris Shook, founders of Woodlands Church in Texas, are the authors of Love at Last Sight: 30 days to grow and deepen your closest relationships. Instead of focusing on that first moments of attraction, Love at Last Sight offers 30 lessons (spread over a month) designed to strengthen the here and now of your relationships.
Each short chapter–designed to be read one per day–offers personal stories, tips to strengthen relationships and a challenge that will help you to go deeper with those you love. Not exclusive to marriage, Love at Last Sight also discusses friendships and family ties.
This book would be a great start for a couple considering marriage, as well as a useful tool for jumpstarting relationships that have waned over time.
