Book Review: Treasure Your Marriage by Cherishing Your Spouse by Suzanne E. Uzzell


Treasure Your Marriage by Cherishing Your Spouse is a helpful resource for married couples and those considering marriage. It will serve to focus or refocus your attention on God's plan for a Christian marriage.

This book by ordained evangelist Suzanne E. Uzzell, reminds us of the Biblical significance of the vows a bride and a groom make to one another and of the important role God plays in marriage.

Treasure Your Marriage by Cherishing Your Spouse is one of those books that comes about when someone has a great desire to help people. It is obvious from the opening page to the last page. Supported by exercises, inspirational quotes and Scripture, Uzzell discusses her 7 Stages of Marriage Growth.

What I like best is that she encourages readers not to give up on their relationship. Where I wanted more from this book is how to put the author's words into action and perhaps some anecdotes to solidify learning.

Check out Treasure Your Marriage by Cherishing Your Spouse to see if it will help you and your marriage.

Outer Banks Travels

Well, it's that time of year again. We landed in the Outer Banks on July 1.


First stop along the road was at Powell's Roadside Market. That's where we get our first batch of locally grown fruits and vegetables each year.

After unpacking, you know we had to visit the beach. The next day, some of our family joined us. It's been very hot and humid the past few days, but last night's rain has made things a bit more comfortable. 



We've visited some of our favorite places already:


And of course, we couldn't miss fireworks at the Waterfront Park in Manteo, where we got a chance to hear the 440 Army band play.


I'll share more from our trip soon.
