Book Cover & Preview Text
Marriage is not the fairy tale it’s talked up to be.
. It is true that marriage is not a state of romantic bliss that goes on day after day, year after year without some resemblance to real life. After the honeymoon the couple settles into a way of life with all its disagreements, difficulties and challenges. Not every couple adjusts quickly to the new way of living. It takes time to learn things about each other. It takes time to adjust to sharing a bed, a vehicle and household chores. There is a learning curve to master regarding finances, housing, school, jobs and so much more. None of these things are ever mentioned in a fairy tale.
The differences between people and the struggles they go through do not mean that a marriage isn’t a happy one or that there won’t be a fairy tale ending. There could be. When you stand back and look at the entire picture, not magnifying the details, a wonderful scene emerges.

About the Book
Many married people wish their union could be better. Nothing seems to go the way they want or thought it would. There are too many fights and too few compliments; there is not enough respect and too much criticism; and there is not enough intimacy. Marriage certainly is not like a fairytale book.
In It’s Not about Me: A Guide to an Amazing Marriage, author and pastor Ken Hinkley helps couples discover why marriages suffer, and he offers ways to improve relationships. Using a host of examples, he takes an in-depth look at intimate relationships before and during a marriage, demonstrating the differences among the attitudes, actions, and consequences of “living for me” in contrast to living for others.
Covering a range of topics from dating to trust to careers and children, It’s Not about Me provides insights on how to overcome difficulties in a marriage and shows couples how they can make their marriage look and feel like it was made in heaven.
