Every day is really a choice of I Do or I Don't. I Do or I Don't want to be humble. I Do or I Don't want to be kind. I Do or I Don't want to be patient. I Do or I Don't want to be selfless. I Do or I Don't want to be compassionate. I Do or I Don't want to love like Christ loved the Church. I Do or I Don't want to submit as unto the Lord. This books lays out a "how to" in following biblical guidelines and "how to" be that spouse who says, "I Do want to love as Christ loved the church in very practical terms." I have lived alongside this man for thirty-three years and he has proven his faithfulness over and over again to me. Because he "practices what he preaches," I Do encourage you to consider utilizing this book for your own personal edification and your own marriage enrichment, as well as assisting others in their pursuit of God's will for their lives in the portrayal of Christ and the Church.
