âStaying married in this day and age takes a whole different mindset, and this book gives an intimate and honest look at the inner workings of their strong union.ââGia Peppers, award-winning journalist and host
After twelve years of marriage, twenty years together, and four kids, Devale and Khadeen Ellis have been through a lot. Theyâve loved their way through a long-distance relationship, financial instability, parenthood, Khadeenâs near-death, and their near-divorce, chronicling their day-to-day life with their boys online. After much trial and error, they hit upon one surprising, essential truth: If youâre looking for a healthy relationship and a fulfilling life, focus on your partnerâs needs instead of your wants. Choosing service over selfishness will not only make your relationship stronger, but it will help you achieve your own goals and build a legacy together.
With their trademark transparency and humor, Khadeen and Devale share the messy, behind-the-scenes work of what it takes to succeed and support one another in their search for individual purpose while growing in their marriage. They discuss family, parenting, sex and intimacy, finances, and commitment, with honest advice threaded through their stories, such as:
⢠Stop comparing yourselves to other couples and make your own rules.
⢠Learn how to function as a team.
⢠Keep talking about sex.
⢠The kids ainât first.
The Ellises might not have all the answers, but they do know that good love takes friendship, grace, and service. Their personal and relatable truths will inspire you to be the kind of partner you want to be so you can build a supportive, enduring relationship.
