Find Out How to Get 'Good Stuff' Out of Your Marriage in "The Good Stuff" by Michelle Stimpson

In this her fifth book titled, The Good Stuff, Michelle Stimpson paints a realistic portrait of marriage through two fictional characters - Sonia Riley and Adrian Jacobsen. Her novel explores the concept of marriage by circumstance vs. marriage by covenant.

Sonia is tired of raising two six-year-old twins and her thirty-something-year-old husband. She is heartbroken and ready to call it quits, and finds herself falling for an interesting male prospect at work.

Adrian couldn't love her husband, Daryll, more if she tried but he seems more interested in making money than babies - not to mention her trifling in-laws. She is ready to cut her losses and move on.

Titus 2:4, which states: "That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children," begins to kick in after both women are invited to a prayer group by Miss Irma, a seasoned woman of God. Their eyes are opened as they learn the fine art of being a wife and discover that marriage is more than a wedding--it's a lifetime of compromise, patience, and forgiveness. But will help come in time to save their marriages?

The Good Stuff strongly exemplifies the power of Titus chapter 2. Its strength shines through as advice is shared by divorcees, happily married women, miserably married women, and widows. These are women who have been there and have done just about everything in a marriage. Stimpson unashamedly shares with us her own testimony of how God repaired her broken and seemingly irreparable marriage. She gives readers a valuable compilation of lessons learned by women who all agree that if they knew then what they know now, things would have been different.

In the 21-page non-fiction section of the book, Stimpson lists 7 Expectations You Shouldn't Take to the Altar!

Do not expect for your husband or your marriage to make you happy.
Do not expect your marriage to be just like your parents' marriage/relationship.

Do not expect your husband to expect nothing of you.
Do not expect that because your husband loves you, he should be able to read your mind.
Do not expect things to stay the same.
Do not expect perfection.
