Do you ever feel like your marriage is good…but not great? I know I’ve felt that way before…having an amazing marriage is a choice. It’s about being intentional…it’s not just going to fall into your lap! I was given the opportunity to read “Beyond Ordinary” By Justin and Trisha Davis…this book has blown my mind.
“Marriage is no ordinary battle. To overcome an ordinary marriage you have to fight for your spouse not with your spouse.”
They are SO open and honest, so real. They aren’t trying to say they’ve done everything in their marriage right. The book is quite the opposite. They share the bumpy road they have been on. Each of them share from their journey – his perspective and then hers. They talk about choosing to have an extraordinary marriage instead of an ordinary one.
It’s so easy to get stuck in the normal day to day life especially when life is busy with work, the kids, and church. But this book reminds you to be intentional. The book reminds you that with God you can get through some really tough times. The book reminded me that we can’t change our spouses…only God can.
If you want to read about real people who have messed up and made it out alive then pick up this book. it’s not a light, fluffy book! It will challenge you, it will make you think twice about your marriage, it will encourage you and you will be better equip to take on whatever comes your way!
Thank you Trisha & Justin for sharing your story and for listening to the Lord – your story is going to help a lot of people!

Justin – I don’t feel like I was able to articulate how much this book impacted me. Thanks for choosing to share your story. It’s amazing how God can use tough circumstances to help others. My husband and I are learning this right now. We have walked through some tough stuff and now we are just trying to let The Lord use us. You guys are such an example to us and your ministry has been such a blessing and encouragement to us.
Great review Syd! It’s on my list to read!
I don’t feel like I was able to articulate how much this book impacted me…writing is a struggle for me. It was great. And It reminded me of things I need to do in my marriage and my walk with The Lord. Thanks for the encouraging words!
