What do you do if you want a marriage that doesn’t just survive, but thrives? That doesn’t just begin romantically but ends magnificently? Answer: You do something different. You’ve seen marriages fail time and again. Even relationships you thought were bulletproof don’t last–or maybe worse—fade away to a cold, gray lovelessness. It’s no wonder that for today’s generation, “getting what you want” is often a substitute for love, and disillusionment about marriage is the new normal. But you can have a long-term, love-blessed marriage. Whether you’re still considering it, are about to be wed, or have been married for a while and want to make changes, Love, Sex & Happily Ever After delivers an infusion of hope. Author Craig Groeschel clearly and honestly lays out the choices and commitments you can make now to change the way you think and act—to build the relationship you want for the rest of your life. With an invigorating mix of personal story, practical guidance and biblical truth, Craig invites you into a candid conversation about first dates, sex, communication, integrity, forgiveness, and commitment. Along the way, he shows how you can build a soul-enriching, God-honoring relationship with the one you love…and believe together again in your very own “happily ever after.” Previously released as Going All the Way

I believe part of the reason why so many marriages in today's society end in divorce is because of the simple fact that no one ever painted a picture for them of what "happily ever after" looks like in reality. Individuals go into a marriage expecting "happily ever after" to look like their childhood fantasy. When they wake up and realize that that's not the case, they figure, "Then, this must not be my Prince Charming" . . . never stopping to take into consideration that maybe their expectations are based on fantasy rather than reality. In her book, "What Ever Happened to Happily Ever After," Keidra Hobley takes a look at some of the different fantasies that many marriages are based on and helps them to transition from a dream state to one of reality. In doing so, she helps to enable marriages to experience a happily ever after that is based on reality and realistic expectations. Keidra H. Hobley holds a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Business Management, a Master's degree in Psychology and Christian Counseling, and a Doctorate in Communications and Christian Leadership. She is a national conference speaker, leadership and professional development trainer, a certified human behavior consultant, an accredited DISC training provider, and a certified coach, teacher and speaker with the John Maxwell Team. Keidra has been married to her one and only husband, James, for 15 years and they have three beautiful children.

Earlier in my post-divorce life, I thought marriage would never happen again for me. Having exited a painful one, I had no desire to enter another. Why would anyone want to repeat a difficult experience? . . . I felt that my heart would never be as trusting as it once was. I had lost my faith in marriage. I wasn’t sure it was the best custodian of love. And I still feared how the wife identity could sabotage me. I was content to sit to the side and let others have their turn at giving the institution a whirl. – from Happily Ever After Marriage: There’s Nothing Like Divorce to Clear the Mind by Sarah Hampson After eighteen years of marriage and three children, Sarah Hampson finds herself amongst the growing ranks of divorced MLWs (“Mid-Life Women”). Hampson uses this newfound vantage point outside the “marriage bubble” to bravely explore the institution of matrimony. She applies her famously warm, perceptive and frequently hilarious perspective, not only to her own marriage experience, but also to those of her family and friends, along with the myriad celebrities she has interviewed in more than a decade of journalism. Candid, humorous and full of fascinating stories, Happily Ever After Marriage is part modern guide, part passionate conversation with friends and part meditation on what can be seen as a new rite of passage to self-actualization in mid-life. By bravely examining her own life, Hampson brings clarity to the underlying cultural messages that inform the choices we make – and shows how embracing change at mid-life can open oneself to new possibilities of connectedness.
