Strengths Based Marriage

Build a Stronger Relationship by Understanding Each Other's Gifts

By: Jimmy Evans, Allan Kelsey

Narrated by: Steven Grimsley, Jason Carson

Marriage expert Jimmy Evans and strengths expert Allan Kelsey show readers how to have a happier, stronger marriage by applying the concepts from the popular StrengthsFinder assessment to their relationship.

One of the biggest obstacles to a happy, strong marriage is a lack of understanding of yourself and your spouse. With Strengths Based Marriage, MarriageToday cofounder Jimmy Evans and Gallup-trained strengths advocate Allan Kelsey give readers the tools they need to dismantle that hurdle and develop a deeper and richer relationship. Applying the revelatory concepts from the popular Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment to marriage (assessment itself not included in purchase price), Evans and Kelsey break new ground in helping readers understand themselves and others. With chapters on “Stopping the Cycles of Pain,” “Speaking Love to Your Spouse’s Heart,” and “Secrets of Successful Marriages,” the book details practical ways to apply these profound insights to your marriage every day.

And, as a bonus, with your purchase of the book you’ll receive access to more than two hours of exclusive video content revealing how to reach your marriage’s full potential. In the exclusive bonus video sessions,

• Kelsey gives an overview of all thirty-four strengths in the Clifton StrengthsFinder® assessment;
• Evans shares inspiration for ending the cycle of hurt and beginning to heal as a couple; and
• The authors discuss how to overcome the heartache of a destructive marriage.

Utterly practical and deeply insightful Strengths Based Marriage will forever change the way you see yourself, your spouse, and your marriage.

Enlightening

Loved it and will listen again! I also have the print copy. I hope to get my husband to upgrade to reveal his 34 strengths soon.

Cannot Locate the Bonuses

This is a great resource, but it would be great to have the link to the strengths finder test, and the two hour video ready for download, rather than having to mine the book in its entirety to find these items. I'm on Chapter 14 right now, and I am uncertain if I inadvertently missed the links to these items, or if I should continue listening, hoping they'll show up,

great info, not so great voices

while this book has great information for your marriage, I felt that the reading kinda sounded robotic. try to see through that and delve into the information being presented

Great material

I listen to audio books a lot. The cringe factor for me on this book was the guy that initially read and did the reading for the other author that was not Jimmy Evans. Jimmy Evans reader sounded good and was easy to listen to. The other reader sounded to much like the weather alert notification person when you go into a truck stop and they have the national weather advisory channel playing over the intercom. I actually stopped listening to the book for a couple months because I couldn't stand his voice. I endured through it after my fiancé mentioned she was listening through it and wanted both of us too.

Super important and we'll done.

The perspective of knowing your and your spouse's strengths is helpful and freeing because you can accept that you're not the same and that's good.
