Publisher's summary

Spring, summer, winter, fall. Marriages are perpetually in a state of transition, continually moving from one season to another—perhaps not annually, as in nature, but just as certainly and consistently. Sometimes we find ourselves in winter—discouraged, detached, and dissatisfied; other times, we experience springtime with its openness, hope, and anticipation. On other occasions, we bask in the warmth of summer—comfortable, relaxed, enjoying life. And then comes fall with its uncertainty, negligence, and apprehension. The cycle repeats itself many times throughout the life of a marriage, just as the seasons repeat themselves in nature.

The seasons of marriage come and go. Each one holds the potential for emotional health and happiness, and each one has its challenges. The purpose of this book is to describe these recurring seasons of marriage, help you and your spouse identify which season your marriage is in, and show you how to enhance your marriage in all four seasons.

Loved it

Read this while I was engaged and it was great to know this before we get married. I recommend it to my parent who have been married for 15 years.

Great for couples

This book is so great, especially on couples that really want to work on their relationship to make it stronger. This would also be a great book for a small group!

Too religious, rigid, and traditional

I only made it 30 minutes. This book has an overly religious focus. I don’t mind religion (especially on a book about marriage), but this almost seems more focused on protecting the sanctity of marriage, rather than the love and relationship within it. It has also only talked about heterosexual relationships and doesn’t feel welcoming to non-traditional relationships.

I had high hopes

Too much Jesus honestly. Not enough stories and helpfulness. Jesus isn’t the answer to everything for everyone.
