I Choose You Today



I Choose You Today: 31 Choices to Make Love Last
About The Book:  A reminder why you chose the one you married and 31 ways to choose to love them every day.  Married for nearly 38 years, author Deborah DeArmond and her husband have made the spoken declaration, “I choose you today” a regular part of their communication. It’s when we least feel like saying it that we need to remind ourselves that love is a choice, not a feeling. I Choose You Today features 31 scriptural principles that support marriage and help couples develop healthy biblically based behavior.  Built on an introductory anecdotal story, each chapter has an inspirational takeaway of not only what to do, but how to begin applying the principles immediately. Thought provoking questions create talking points for couples to explore their own choices and experiences in each area serve to generate open dialogue of discovery. I Choose You Today is not a book of "shoulds," but one of clearly identified choices that each individual can make to grow their marriage and align it with the word of God. Every saying ends with a conventional wisdom quote.

My Thoughts On The Book:  Having just celebrated my twelfth wedding anniversary I found this book to be  a must read for newly and oldy weds too.  This book is a great counseling tool and is full of sound advice that makes you sit up and pay attention to. As a pastor I plan to make this book one of my counseling books.  The book is filled with many scripture references that are helpful and Deb's stories in each chapter are touching and easy to relate to.  If you want a marriage that will endure then this is the book for you.  Loved it!
