Many unwanted wiles can swoop down to disturb a marriage.   This book is about succeeding and winning a marriage.

Marriage is very precious.   We must do everything we can to preserve it.

This book is written in humility, because I must study and learn how to become a good person.

I am sure this book has many ‘typos’.   This book has been a mission for me.  Just because I have a journey and a mission to accomplish I cannot burden other people with proof reading,   Please forgive the ‘typos’.

SEMI GERMAN TEXT:

Bible quotations are in English and German.
