Where your relationship can find HOPE and HELP

“The great majority of wives think sex is only for the husband to enjoy and for the wife to endure. For many wives it’s sort of like doing the laundry although not quite as exciting.”
— Sim Fulcher, Door to a Lasting Marriage
The Book
It is more than a self-help book. It addresses the sources of marriage difficulties rather than just the symptoms.
Our book is a basic treatment of marriage—the ABCs. Its chapters deal with Anger, Baggage, Children, Differences, Eros (Sex), and Faith. Each chapter is distinct, almost like six books under one cover. The material has been developed over 60 years of marriage, 50 years as marriage counselors, and 15 years of leading marriage & relationship seminars.
Our purpose in writing is to help strengthen marriages and marriages-to-be. The book is intensely personal. It’s our story.
