Hello John,

A new school year, the prices of everything getting out of control, and a culture actively bent on destroying your values. Times like these can put immense stress on your relationship with your spouse. That's why I want to share something with you that can help strengthen your marriage for the tough times we're all going through, and the even more challenging times that are likely ahead. Specifically, it will help you find unique ways to love and cherish your spouse.

But what does it mean to truly cherish your mate? The dictionary says the word “cherish” means “to treasure, to nurture, to show tenderness.” Does your marriage look like that? Or are you starting to feel disconnected from each other? Husbands and wives who cherish one another understand that God created everyone different, and as a result, they treasure their spouse’s unique characteristics.

My wife, Erin, and I want to help you do just that. So this week, instead of bingeing that new show on Netflix, will you take some time to focus on your marriage? To help you get started, we have enlisted the help of our good friend Gary Thomas — a best-selling marriage author, speaker, and pastor.

Gary’s newest book tackles this very subject! It’s called Cherish: The One Word that Changes Everything for Your Marriage. This excellent resource is positively brimming with practical, relevant, biblical counsel to help husbands and wives grasp the profound importance of cherishing their mate — and putting it into practice every day of the year.

We’d like to offer you a copy of Cherish for a gift of any amount. Simply visit the link below to make your gift and request your copy. It’s as simple as that!

Erin and I truly want Cherish to bless you and your spouse. Our prayer is that it will help you find new ways to shower each other with honor and love, and that it will enable you to find deeper connection and intimacy on your journey together.

Take this time to invest in your marriage, John! You can get started by clicking the button below.

May God bless your marriage!
