"There are few voices I trust as much as Kim Kimberling when it comes to marriage, love, and relationships. For decades he's been teaching us what it means to connect with others, to practice self-giving love in our relationships, and how to do these things through the power of the Holy Spirit. What a gift he's now given us here in his newest book! The wisdom and insight he shares seems to drip off of every page. But these are not just heady, theoretical ideas. These are practical, tangible, do-able things that add value to our lives and the lives of those we love. I cannot recommend this book strongly enough."—Clayton King, teaching pastor at Newspring Church, author of Stronger and Overcome

"As a young bride, I sat on the sofa and cried. My real marriage was not like the movies. We were both Christians and believed God brought us together. I assumed his divine endorsement would make everything easy. But it didn't, and it wasn't. It was hard and not at all what I expected. I wish we had this book in our early years. It is filled with essential tools for building a relationship you can both enjoy. Instead of a throwing out a magical checklist, it empowers couples to explore, define and determine to do the work that will make their unique marriage work. As Dr. Kimberling states, 'Nothing just works itself out in marriage.' Creating a vibrant life together takes effort, but any couple who grabs hold of these 14 keys will save time, energy and tears."—Lynn Marie Cherry, author of Keep Walking, 40 Days to Hope and Freedom after Betrayal

"Dr. Kim Kimberling has written an outstanding book for anyone interested in having a happy, successful marriage. His '14 Essential Keys' are proven fundamental building blocks to a great marriage. Written in a down-to-earth, enjoyable style, the wisdom in this book will truly help you to become a better spouse!"—Rick Johnson, bestselling author of Becoming Your Spouse's Better Half and Romancing Your Better Half
