101 WAYS TO HAVE 100% SUCCESS IN MARRIAGEWWW.RAREHOMEBUILDERS.COMAuthors Introduction101 Ways to have 100% Success in Marriage is designed to strengthenyour Marriage relationship and to help to bring marriages back to Christ.The reason why I wrote this e-book is because I was having major problemsin my marriage and I believe it was because I was not doing many of thethings that I’ve listed in this book. While listening to an audio CD by Dr.Myles Munroe “The Purpose and Principles of Vision” he asked a question“Do you have a vision of how you want yourself to look as a husband?” Thisquestion drove me to the Bible for some answers because my answer was NO.Since God created the institution of marriage He knows how a husbandand a wife should operate inside of the covenant of marriage so there was nobetter place for me to start searching for answers than in the Bible. I alsolearned I needed to become a student of success in marriage quickly becausemy relationship with my wife is the most important relationship I have onearth. So in this book I have listed resources that will empower you to applyeach idea. It is my hope that you will enjoy this e-book as I am excited toshare it with you and pray that it will be a seed planted in the good soil ofyour marriage that will grow a harvest adding to your family’s success.Bringing Marriages Back To Christ,Christopher D. Davis3
