Thank Goodness for these Marriage Guidelines


We have mentioned a time or two (or twenty) that 'Love and Respect: The Love she Most desires - The Respect he Desperately needs' is by far . . . 

      . . . the best marriage book we have ever read.  The author, Dr. Emerson  Eggerichs, posted the following (click on link below), to encourage couples who want to have a better marriage, but still struggle. In another words, they have the tools, but keep falling back into their old ways:

We went through the book and study guide TWICE! So don't be discouraged if you don't get it right the first time, the fact that you want to save your marriage, strengthen your marriage, understand God's design for marriage,  etc., speaks volumes.  

We are eternally grateful to our Father in Heaven, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs - the author who we hope to meet one day and thank him in person for writing this book that taught us so much, and to our dear friends the Cooks - who introduced us to this book by inviting is to their small group!







So we encourage you to order, buy, or borrow a copy today and experience marriage the way God intended, it's amazingly awesome, or rather, Wesome!

Simply make a daily decision to better your marriage today with God's help.

Much Love and God Bless,
Team Gage

Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Parenting Teens? Some Interesting Truths...



As we gear up for publishing more often on our blog, we will be re-posting some old favorites, as well as, sharing some great articles by authors we admire and respect. 

Shaunti Feldhahn, who has authored several great marriage books, shared this article on parenting teens:

(as our boys are entering their last year(s) of high school, we encourage you to stay the course of parenting your  teen(s), soon to be teens, or 'way down the road' going to be teens - it happens even quicker than you imagine!)

Take a read and let us know your thoughts. Parenting is simply a daily commitment, some days are rough, some days are rewarding, but all days are worth it).

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. (2 Timothy 2:3 KJV)

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:14-17 KJV)

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: (2 Timothy 4:7 KJV)

Be Blessed,
Love from Team Gage
