But...He Brings You Mangos: Marital Insights from Seven Women with the Courage to Share (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997066500)

Too often in today's society, the pressures and reality of being married-being linked for better or for worse to another human being-creates uncomfortable circumstances with which we just don't want to deal. And so instead of persevering, we call a lawyer.

Unlike Hollywood movies that end with a fairytale wedding, But He Brings You Mangos demonstrates how this intimate and sometimes uncomfortable institution provides the framework for human development, spiritual growth, and the great reward that comes from learning to love, respect, value, and support an imperfect spouse.

A collection of seven different experiences of marriage by seven women of different ages, backgrounds, and cultures, the stories in this book take off the rose-colored glasses, and instead provide thought-provoking and inspiring gems about the true nature and purpose of marriage.

Incorporating notions of love, compassion, faith, and commitment, these anecdotes paint a picture of marriage as a gift that is real, desirable, and attainable-despite what today's society and statistics say.

Whether you've been married a long time, are newly betrothed, or simply hope to be married some day, these true-life experiences will encourage and equip you for the journey.
