Summary

See what happens when a regular husband and father of four promises to totally love and serve his wife for 100 days. What will happen to him, his wife and their relationship? Is it really worth the effort? More than just just hearing marriage platitudes, this book shows the reality of the stresses family life can bring and demonstrates the power of trusting someone enough to love them completely."I realized I would have to break out of it and muster the will to move us forward again. I sat there pondering many of the lessons I've learned over the years about how to have happy relationships. I remembered a thought I had when we were first married while in a similar frame of mind. It was a thought I believe came from God. "Just love her and let me do the teaching." I have remembered that from time to time over the years and have tried, but have not applied it as consistently as I could. I wondered what would happen if I not only broke out of this negative situation, but tried to act with the same selfless mindset for an extended period. So, I thought I'd try an experiment.""I would show more gratitude and affection; I would help more without complaining and look for ways to proactively serve; I would listen more and "correct" less; and I would refrain from seeking justice and accuracy on some issues. I would have to leave some things unsaid, forgive more, and think unselfishly. If we had a disagreement, I would have to move forward in a positive way."
