REVIEW: 1. Why are the small, mundane moments of everyday life so critical to your marriage?
REVIEW: 1. Our lives don’t careen from big moment to big moment; we live in 10,000 little moments. These are the moments that shape our lives and our marriages. If we neglect the little moments, marriage will suffer, but if we invest in the little moments, marriage will prosper. 2. Everyone is a worshiper; worship is first an identity before it is ever an activity. You can’t divide people into two categories: those who worship and those who don’t. Everyone worships. The question is: who, or what, will you worship in your marriage and life? 3. Romance is powerful and attractive, but it is not a strong enough foundation to build a marriage. Romance is the result of a marriage that is rooted it worship. Romance should be desired but is never the cause of a good marriage.

3. Why can’t you build a strong marriage on the foundation of romance?
