20 Quotes from Date Your Wife by Jonathan Parnell

I recently asked Justin Buzzard how he would sum up his new book in less than ten seconds. "If you want to change a marriage, change the man," he replied, "and Jesus changes the man."

Here are 20 standout quotes from Date Your Wife.

FamilyLife Today's three-part radio interview with the author: A Meeting Meant-to-be, Becoming God's Man, and Let's Go on a Date!.

Buzzard's Huffington Post article:

You know the statistics. Marriage is broken in our world. If your marriage isn't broken, the marriage of someone you know is. At the very least, your marriage isn't pulsating with the life and power it was meant to have.

But, it's not too late. There's still hope for marriage -- for your marriage, for your neighbor's marriage, and for marriages that haven't happened yet.

It's harder and easier than you think...

Aaron Armstrong's review at Blogging Theologically:

...the greatest gift that Justin Buzzard can give any of the readers of Date Your Wife: practical, helpful advice to figure out what it looks like to date our wives day-by-day ‘til death do us part. I was greatly encouraged reading this book and I trust  you will be as well.

A review from Quieted Waters:

This book’s strength lies in encouraging Christian husbands to date their wives, to love them passionately and openly. Whether you’ve been married for a few weeks or a few decades, this book will serve as a good encouragement to romance your wife.

There is no one right way to do this. Every marriage is different. Every wife is different. You need to create an annual plan that’s unique to the dream God has given you for your marriage and your wife.
