How to Stay Married deals with a topic I usually avoid in my books. But I kept hearing about it and so reluctantly I added it to my long TBR. Then book serendipity took over and a book subscription I am a part of sent me the title. Surprise. Guess I’ll read it now instead of years down the road. I listened to the invitation and moved the book to my nightstand. I’m so glad I did. Although a hard book to read, I loved it. 

Harrison Scott Key honestly lays out the details of his marriage and his wife’s affair. Then just when you can’t take the heartbreak anymore he says something relatable and funny, breaking the tension. This is a true story about marriage, faith, mercy, and forgiveness. 

I found this story inspiring, real, and beautiful. I loved the elements of faith plus the reckoning of seeing our own flaws, pursuing those we love, and accepting responsibility in our relationships. Have I mentioned I loved this book. Read it especially if you’re married.
