What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“I had no idea I would enjoy Becoming Your Husband's Best Friend so much. Lisa and David gently, but persistently, offer reasons and ways of conversion. The authors share their gifts with the reader while not getting in the way of God’s Grace. They do not avoid the issue that hard work and hope go together. It was a beautiful book!”
—Kris Lager, M.S., Executive Director, One Heart Equestrian Therapy

“Whether your marriage is great, on the rocks, or somewhere in between, this book will help you make it better.”
Larry Osborne, author and pastor, North Coast Church

“Lisa and David Frisbie have hit another home run with the book, Becoming Your Husband’s Best Friend! Their engaging writing style and crystal-clear real-life illustrations allow the reader to grasp the message of each chapter in a way that challenges him or her to look deep inside to see if similar issues reside there. Each chapter is followed by a series of questions under the title ‘Reflections for Your Personal Journey.’ These would make a valuable self-help guide or a small-group discussion guide that could produce valuable changes in anyone sharing the problems discussed. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to pastor, counselor, wives and husbands seeking to better understand marital relationships!”
—Dr. Dan Casey, lead pastor, First Church of the Nazarene, Little Rock, AR
