Fried Chicken & Donuts and Other Stories of Covenant Marriage Pat Mayer

Can a box of donuts really lead to marital bliss? Will cleaning out your garage improve your marriage? Are shoes the key to understanding your in-laws? Can someone tell the kind of marriage you have just by watching you both shop for a car? Through personal stories, both poignant and funny, members of one church community offer their perspectives on these questions and more. Each contributor lends a different voice, and together they all create a kind of marriage chorus. You might not recognize all the notes as your own, but you're likely to hear something that strikes a familiar chord. Fried Chicken & Donuts guides you in reflecting on the blessings of your marriage. It encourages you to examine the gestures, large and small, the words, spoken and unspoken, and the experiences, good and bad, that create and sustain a marriage. All the ingredients are here: the personal stories, reflection questions and activities, and a scriptural lens through which to view it all. Fried Chicken & Donuts provides food for thought and a recipe for enriching your marriage.
