My Final Thoughts

I thoroughly enjoyed reading through Happily Joint: The Secret to Relationship Resiliency with my spouse. Each tip from his and her perspective was right on point and allowed us to see both the male and the female perspective from the experts. We discussed each of the questions at the end of the chapters and learned some new things about each other, our marriage, and moving forward. It’s necessary to communicate with your spouse and listen with an open mind in order to discuss the tough things. This book helps couples to do just that. Military life puts unique challenges onto a marriage, but that does not mean that couples cannot persevere through them. With love, faith, commitment, and the willingness to continue educating yourselves in marriage through books like this, military marriages can and will survive.
