Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage: Unlocking the Secrets to Life, Love, and Marriage

by Mark Gungor

Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage was recommended to and purchased for me by my mom, and she wasn’t joking when she said I would love it. It’s an easy and fun read with great, on-point and no nonsense information. Mark Gungor uses a realistic, point-blank approach to help people push their marriage to the next level. He addresses “taboo” and relatively untouched subjects. Throughout the book he keeps you hanging on to read more, and you won’t be the same when you finish it.

Here is a little more on this book:

“Based on Mark Gungor’s wildly popular seminar, Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriagebuilds on Gungor’s success with tens of thousands of couples who credit him with enriching, and even saving their marriages. By using his unique blend of humor and tell-it-like-it-is honesty, he helps couples get along and have fun doing it.

Through exploring a variety of subjects including the myth of a “soul mate,” the different brains of men and women, the conflicting levels of libido, and the necessity to forgive, Gungor proves that the key to marital bliss is not romance is not romance or destiny–it’s work and skill. Couples need to work hard at maintaining their relationship and the skills to pull it off. The longer spouses wait to learn these skills, the higher their chance of wanting to bail, yet Gungor makes it easy for couples to bring their relationships to the next level.”

    Marital counseling will only work if BOTH pateirs want it to work. The fact that he has moved out to be with another woman sounds to me as if he’s not interested in resolving whatever issues there were that prompted him to not only cheat on you with a mistress over two years ago, but to move completely out of your life and the marital home. I would think that you’d have consulted with an attorney by now and moved toward severing your relationship with him as he has done with you and then resolved the financial issues that need to be addressed. Then you can move forward with your life and find a man that is going to be there with you for the long term. Counseling will only work individually if he believes this his ways are wayward as hyou think they are. Obviously he doesn’t agree with you.

      Violines, it sounds like you’ve found yourself in a quite challenging and layered situation. While there’s no way for me to tackle the in depth response something of this magnitude requires over this comment, I would just say that there is still hope where infidelity has occurred in marriages. I personally have witnessed it many times, but indeed, the affair must stop and both spouses need to work toward recovery with the help of a professional. My prayers for restoration and healing go out to you.
