Booker T. Washington was born a slave, yet became a surprising political force in the nineteenth century. He believed that when difficulties call out your best, they become stepping-stones instead of roadblocks.

Maybe you feel your marriage is filled with more difficulties than blessings. Perhaps you feel you have nothing to give, that your relationship is stuck in a rut, or that you and your spouse lack what it takes to achieve the happiness you desire.

If that’s you, I have good news: Marriage is not about what we have, but about what we do with what we have.

There is always hope. Your marriage, yes yours, can become an inspiration to other couples. Your marriage can become fruitful and fulfilling. Your marriage can become a source of profound joy, rich togetherness, and powerful witness.

I wrote this journal as a tool to help guide you through the process of taking what you have—difficulties or blessings—and turning them into stepping-stones for a lifelong love and a beautiful marriage. The theme for each day is carefully designed with this purpose in mind, beginning with thought-provoking content followed by a powerful question to provide direction as you journal.

This journaling is where you will find transformation. Be honest with yourself. Open your heart freely to God in this process. Allow Him to speak to you and help you. Then begin to apply the simple principles you find on each page.

Step by step, day by day, moment by moment, you will find life and joy growing in your marriage. More than that, you will find greater fulfillment in giving your marriage—and your whole life—to God.

Do you see the difference? Instead of trying to build a marriage I want, a magnificent obsession leads me to seek to build the kind of marriage that reveals Jesus to the world.

Time and time again, this passage has been proven to me in my marriage. When I understood how God had loved me with an everlasting love—that my marriage was first and foremost a magnificent obsession with God and His kingdom, above all things, even above my wife—my marriage changed radically for the good.
