I Love You Unconditionally...on One Condition: Everyday Choices for an Extraordinary Marriage (2=1 Books) [Paperback]

Joey O'Connor (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2004 | Series: 2=1 Books

Everyone wants to be loved unconditionally in marriage. But all too often, the conditions we create and the unrealistic expectations we place on our spouses rapidly cause that dream to fade. Soon we find ourselves sarcastic instead of sympathetic, condemning instead of compassionate, and far from that match made in heaven.

Packed with hilarious anecdotes and thoughtful insights, I Love You Unconditionally...On One Condition reveals that although marriages have their mountaintop moments, we spend most of our time in the valley of everyday living. Using 1 Corinthians 13, Joey O'Connor offers fresh insights into the marvelous, messy and often mundane moments of married life.

This isn't your typical marriage book. It's filled with real-life humor, practical advice, Scripture-based guidance, and a reminder of how important unconditional love really is.

From wrestling to Wal-Mart, this book is a gem.

This review is from: I Love You Unconditionally...on One Condition: Everyday Choices for an Extraordinary Marriage (2=1 Books) (Paperback)

This book was very well written and somewhat hilarious at times, especially the thrift shop story. It was enjoyable to read while being practical to apply to your marriage. I could relate to many of stories Joey shared. It's nice to take advice from someone who is actually living it every day. Well done, Joey!

This review is from: I Love You Unconditionally...on One Condition: Everyday Choices for an Extraordinary Marriage (2=1 Books) (Paperback)

This book puts the responsibility for the success of marriage in to the hands of the husband and wife. O'Connor accurately portrays marriage as exactly what it is: a choice you make every single day to love and serve each other. A fun read with realistic scenarios provoking a thoughtful approach to the day-in-day out ordinary choices you make in lasting love.
