MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Marriages are imploding all around us. Homes are fracturing. Families are shipwrecked. And one of the leading causes is sexual temptation that leads to moral failure. How does a guy guard his heart and home in a culture that is so sexually saturated and permissive?
It doesn't just happen. It takes intentional, biblical decisions to set guards and stand strong. And those decisions--or lack of them--will inevitably set directions for life which will lead to inevitable destinations. We are what we choose!

And it all centered on the choices they made. This book pulls out both the choices, and the prniciples undergirding them, of both men. And they serve as beacon points to all of us on what to do...and what not to do...as the inevitability of temptatoin knocks on our door.
Journey through the lives of these two men and you will discover dangers to beware of that lurk around unsuspected corners of life's path.

We'll walk together with how to make a U-turn in our life when needed, realizing that it is insane to keep going in a way that is causing problems while at the same time expecting different results. Different results only come from a change of direction.

The eight questions that every husband ought to ask his wife yearly, combined with the eight a wife can ask her husband annually are guaranteed to take the relationship "beneath the surface" issues of life, and have proven to be a game changer for hundreds of marriages.
