Publisher's Synopsis
After fifty years of marriage and thirty-five years as pastors of two churches, Pete and Bev Caruso have much to share about marriage. The Carusos have taught on Marriage and Family Living in many diverse cultures of Europe, Africa, North America, Asia and the Pacific Region. In Keeping It Fresh - A Love that Keeps on Growing, they share these same biblically based principles. Through stories and living examples combined with humor and transparency they cover: Friendship within Marriage; Differences by God's Design; Meeting Each Other's Needs; Sex: God's Gift to Marriage; Intentional Communication; Getting Past the Past; Deciding Whom to Marry; and far more. ------------ "Finally a book about marriage by authors who actually live it out in front of us." Patience & Ray Gifford. Portland, Oregon ------------ "We've seen these teachings in person and know that this book will be a lifeline for some marriages." Daniel and Mary Lowery, PA-C. ------------ "With so many marriages, even among Christians, this book is a must read. The Carusos' teaching has proven effective among our congregations." Henry and Jeannie Lein, Overseers of many Hispanic Churches in Southern California ------------ "We've taken many valuable lessons away from your teaching including your example of how a husband and wife should honor one another. We learned to value God, our marriage, and each other. You taught us how to praise each other daily. This is something that was foreign to me growing up. We learned that we have a choice to make our marriage work and to stay in love! We especially enjoy the way you two look at each other adoringly and are still so in love; it is something to aspire to. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts." Jonathan and Sapphire Hall, Mangere, New Zealand ------------ "Pete and Bev have touched our lives deeply during the 45 years we've known them. By observing their lives we have learned how to relate to each other as husband and wife. Their biblical teaching has helped us to grow in many additional areas of our lives. These people are real!" Bill and Joyce Dunn, San Jose, California ------------ "My life has been changed by the Carusos' teaching on marriage. When I began to apply what they teach to my own marriage, I saw how living the truth of the Word actually changed me from the inside out. I've known them for thirty years and can honestly say they live what they teach." Donna (and Pete) Peterson, Canyon Country, California ------------ "We have personally been touched by Bev and Pete's wisdom and knowledge through the way they make scripture relevant to our marriage. They have helped us form a strong foundation for our relationship and we strongly recommend their teachings for people wanting a fulfilling and enriched marriage." Bryan and Leilani Liew, Auckland, New Zealand
