Loving Your Man Without Losing Your Mind

by Susie Davis

Overview

Why is marriage so much harder than we think it will be? And how could the man that a woman loves most in the world end up becoming the one person that she struggles to live in harmony with? In this biblical and practical book, Susie Davis helps women love the men in their lives with an abundance of understanding and grace. Using humor and wise insights, Susie covers the most common marriage conflicts, exhorting women to remember often why they married their spouse in the first place.
