How to Build an Enduring Marriage Workbook by Karen Budzinski

If asked to list the most important things in life, most people would not list their material possessions over their relationships. Although relationships are as varied as the people involved, the tools we utilize to build and strengthen them are always the same. This workbook will give you a chance to personally apply the valuable tools to enjoy marathon relationships as presented in the companion book, How to Build an Enduring Marriage:

• Avoid common obstacles that hinder
• successful communication
• Identify destructive habits that are eating away at marital happiness
• Prepare to get through problems without danger or injury to your relationship
• Achieve true intimacy, love, and friendship with your husband
• Hold onto joy through the ups and downs of life together

Your marriage cannot work unless you do.

I want to invite you to take a journey with me while we study and apply ourselves to live out our priorities. It is a journey designed to leave excuses behind as we apply ourselves to an extreme relationship workout. We are going to lift the ideals we have settled for in our relationships to new standards, set aside pre-conceived ideas, commit to develop and apply new skills, and take a look at some of the priorities we have unintentionally allowed to slacken. As we dedicate ourselves to these tasks, results will follow.

Karen and her husband Gary were married in 1981. In 1984, they had their first child; by 1989, they had five children.

Karen began challenging and teaching women to strengthen their relationships in 1981. She did not realize at that time that her life work would be dedicated to helping others build better relationships. Karen is the author of How to Build an Enduring Marriage, published in 2014. She shares her passion to help others live victoriously by teaching in America and abroad.

Karen and Gary's sons and daughters are all married, and have made Karen and Gary grandparents to fourteen children ages 6 and under and counting. Karen and Gary reside in Michigan.
