About this Book

For couples who have experienced -- or who want to experience -- a loving, long-term marriage, this book invites them to fully give themselves to another human being in order to truly enjoy life together. This is the compelling and inspiring story of a Quaker man and his wife and their 41-year marriage together as they raised four children, negotiated careers of service, lived with chronic illnesses, and continued to nurture and cherish each other. Reflected through stories, conversations, personal notes, and poems, theirs is a marriage that demonstrates the faith, gratitude, generosity, friendship, commitment, and humour that are crucial to any successful marriage. Written by a priest after the death of his beloved wife, this is a perfect gift for engagements, weddings, and anniversaries. It also is appropriate for marriage and grief counsellors.
