Patty Mondore

"Love is patient, love is kind..." or so we are told in the "Love Chapter." But how to apply those words practically to our marriages -- that's another story... or really 30 other stories. To Love, Honor, and Oh Boy tells the true stories of 30 real couples whose partnerships have stood the test of time, and how they applied the wisdom of the definitive handbook on love -- 1 Corinthians 13 -- to the situations they encountered in their marriages. Each couple's adventures (and misadventures) graphically illustrate a small portion of this timeless and eternal user's manual for lovers, written by the One who by his very nature is Love. Some of the stories are humorous; others will make you cry -- but all of them will inspire you as you discover how other couples demonstrate through all of their sorrows, joys, laughter, and tears that they are wild about each other. Each chapter also features a take-home point that you can try out in your own marriage. Whether you're a newlywed, an "oldywed," or even a not-yet-wed, Patty Mondore's funny and engaging reflections make To Love, Honor, and Oh Boy an enjoyable and spiritually uplifting read that's certain to strengthen your relationship with both the Lord and your partner.
