Ashley and Dino invite you into their home and relationship through their honest and hilarious storytelling. They share both such stories as getting engaged after only three weeks, and moving into an RV with three kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are quick to say they don\u2019t have all the answers, but they welcome you to join them as they share the struggles that come from intentionally staying committed each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandra writes, “If you are into interior design but also are looking for some good marital\/family tips, this is the book for you. I love how it was written from both Ashley and Dino’s perspectives. Their story is one I’m sure most of us can relate to, but the fact that they are so vulnerable about who they are and what they go through is very inspiring.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Is How Your Marriage Ends<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Matthew Fray is a relationship coach, writer, and coaches husbands on how to avoid divorce. He knows from his own experience, getting divorced in 2013, that “Good people can be bad at relationships. People with the best intentions in the world can still inadvertently harm their relationship partners.” So, he attempts to “help reduce all of the stuff that sucks about marriage and relationships, so that we can better enjoy all of the amazing and beautiful parts.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One wife who read the book wrote<\/a>, “I would give ANYTHING for my husband to read this book because I think he might actually understand what he\u2019s doing before it\u2019s too late.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Authors Kevin and Melissa Fredericks had a “traditional” relationship, high school sweethearts, were married during college, had two sons and a thriving marriage. But there\u2019s another side of their story, which they cover in the book, and on their various media outlets. The book was written for those who think relationship books are unrealistic, and for those wondering if they\u2019re the only ones breaking all the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loryn<\/a> reviews, “The book is filled with many wonderful tools that can be used within a marriage, or for people preparing for marriage. Kevin and Melissa use their backgrounds to assist with debunking toxic practices. They are extremely vulnerable in sharing their stories to assist anyone who is married or considering marriage.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 80\/80 Marriage<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

“The 80\/80 Marriage: A New Model for a Happier, Stronger Relationship,” by Kaley Klemp and Nate Klemp, was born of their work as mindfulness and leadership experts. But these traits often fell to the wayside when they came home, only to end up fighting about fairness in their marriage. Their book pushes couples beyond the idea of “fairness” toward a different model based on on generosity and shared success, that calls for each spouse to contribute 80% to create the strongest possible relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reviewer Cameron<\/a> describes the book, “explains how marriage has changed from an 80\/20 model where the husband’s needs at home are paramount. The current 50\/50 model stresses fairness and equality. But this current 50\/50 model does not lead to the love, intimacy, and connection. This 50\/50 division of effort is difficult to ever get and encourages rivalry as we compare things that can’t be compared (how does 3 hours of childcare compare to 3 hours of cleaning the house and doing finances?).<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next they break down how we can move towards a model of radical generosity (80\/80) where we are deeply investing in each other and not getting caught up in constantly comparing and resenting each other for all of the many responsibilities in a marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
