Overview
Passion is not something that happens to you. It is something you build.
If your marriage feels more like a well-run household than a love story, you are not broken, and you are not alone. The Spark That Lasts is a warm, plain-spoken guide to keeping passion and connection alive, drawn from sixty years of marriage: the roommate years, the near-miss at the screen door, and the small, stubborn habits that brought two people back to each other.
There is no blaming, no fearing, no guilt, and no shaming in these pages. You will find practical tools you can start this week, whether or not your spouse reads a word.
Inside you will learn how to:- See the slow drift before it becomes distance, and name the three things that quietly wreck relationships: losing respect, playing the blame game, and checking out
- Replace the "lightning" myth with a fire you can tend, fed by attention, admiration, and adventure
- Build a ten-minute daily habit and a weekly check-in that does not turn into a fight
- Fight fair, call a break before you need it, and repair fast with a simple four-sentence script
- Put adventure on the calendar, even on a tight budget and a tired body
- Give an apology that actually lands, and keep loving when your spouse is not on board
- Get through grief, illness, money trouble, and seasons of doubt together, and know when to bring in help
- Become the couple others look to, and finish well together
- A 30-day Spark Plan, one small action a day
- One hundred questions for the kitchen table, the car, and the long drive home
- A guide for small groups and couples' circles, with eight sessions
Every chapter ends with questions to talk over together and one small assignment for the week. The book offers two threads: practical tools for any couple, and a Christian foundation of grace for readers who want it. Take what serves you and leave the rest.
Whether your marriage is thriving, tired, or hanging by a thread, the next step is small, and it starts today.
