__Your Recipe for Marital Success__   
Having a successful marriage is not about finding the perfect person. It's not even about always getting along. It's about loving the imperfect person you married in an unselfish manner.   
  
Just as a great meal is made from many ingredients, a great marriage is a combination of different traits. If men and women were the same, life would turn out pretty bland. In this witty and insightful book, Rick Johnson shows you how to go beyond merely tolerating your spouse's differences to using them to add spice and passion to your relationship.  
  
  
"Rick Johnson understands the dynamics of a great relationship, and he's really good at helping others understand them too."--Will Davis Jr., author of Pray Big and Pray Big for Your Marriage  
  
"Rick Johnson shows us how men and women are wonderfully different by design. His incredible understanding of how men think and how women think will give you much better insight into that person you married who sometimes seems like an alien."--Jim Burns, PhD, president of HomeWord; author of Creating an Intimate Marriage and Closer: Devotions to Draw Couples Together  
  
"Conventional thinking wants us to believe that 'compatibility' is the golden key to a lasting marriage. But here Rick Johnson explains the real truth: it's our differences that make us interesting, engaged, and intimate."--Paul Coughlin, author of No More Christian Nice Guy and Married But Not Engaged

It's no secret that men and women are different. And it's no secret that they don't always get along because of these differences, even when they love each other. But having a successful marriage is not about finding the perfect person to marry. It's about loving someone in an unselfish, Christlike manner. Whatever we want out of marriage--unconditional love, forgiveness, passion--that is what we have to give to our spouse. Rick Johnson shows couples how to go beyond merely tolerating each other's differences to using those God-given differences to add spice and passion to their relationship.

__What's the secret to a great marriage? Your differences.__   
No matter how well you get along, you and your spouse are two different people. You have individual backgrounds, tastes, experiences, and personalities. Because of this, you each bring unique contributions to the table. And your marriage is at its best when you can use those differences to complement each other rather than work against one another.  
  
Now relationship expert Rick Johnson shows you how to embrace your individuality, understand your spouse's needs and desires, and work together to build a strong marriage based on mutual respect and understanding.   
  
Your marriage can be a loving, dynamic, lifelong experience. The best times of your life together are yet to come.
