From Focus on the Family

A decade ago, Art and Lysa TerKeurst were on the brink of divorce. Since then their marriage has been transformed. How did their relationship go from awful to awesome? And what practical tips do they have for other couples experiencing marital difficulties?
“I went into marriage thinking of all I was going to get out of it, not of all that I had to give another person,” Lysa admits. “To be honest, Art and I were very selfish in our approach to marriage.”
Lysa soon found that past baggage, combined with the expectation that Art would somehow “fix” her, was a recipe for disaster. “I hungered and thirsted for a husband who would fill me completely,” she says.
