Could the way that you’re be thinking be keeping your marriage ho-hum?
Read on–because I believe that God has so much more for you!
Check out 9 Thoughts That Can Change Your Marriage
Tired of “Pat Answers” That Never Seem To Work?
We’ve all heard them:
- Just pray more and your marriage will get better!
- If you submit, he’ll start to lead.
- Once you find your soulmate, you’ll finally be happy.
- If you’re bothered by something, Duck! Let God smack him, not you.
- Conflict is bad for a marriage; just love on him and the urge to fight will stop.
All of those things may sound true–and in some cases they are! But the reason they’re “pat answers” is that they’re not ALWAYS true. They take a complex problem and try to condense it to one-size-fits-all advice.
And quite often it doesn’t fit.
Let’s go beyond pat answers and go deeper–to REAL solutions that can give you the marriage you’ve always wanted.
Do you yearn to feel truly intimate with your spouse? Do you have this overwhelming feeling like you’re missing out on something–that God had so much more planned for your marriage, but you can’t quite figure out how to get there? When you’ve put into practice all the usual advice, but your marriage still falls short of the intimacy and joy you want, what then? Are patience and perseverance your only hope for a better relationship?
I’m author and speaker Sheila Wray Gregoire. And let me assure you–The solution to a happier relationship is not found in being a more patient, more perfect wife, but in taking responsibility for what you can do—and especially for how you think about your marriage. Let me challenge you to replace pat Christian answers with nine biblical truths that will radically shift your perspective on your husband, your relationship, and your role in God’s design for marriage.
No more pat answers!
What are people saying about 9 Thoughts?
Who Can Change Your Marriage?
God certainly can. Your husband certainly can.
But what if God wants to empower you to do something yourself? And what if you’re spending your time feeling stuck–feeling like if you just love enough or pray enough then either your husband or God will give you the bliss you’ve dreamed of.
That’s a little manipulative.
It’s saying: I’ll be loving to get him to change. I’ll pray to get my husband to change.
What if you’re the one who has to change?
Why Should I Have to Change?
I don’t mean you have to become a doormat. Quite the opposite!
If you’re in a good marriage, that’s wonderful! I am, too. But it can always be better. And in this book I show you how our thought patterns can make us stuck in a good marriage–instead of a great one!
But if you’re in a difficult marriage, that’s all the more reason to start changing the way you think about marriage–and changing the way you think about your ability to change things.

Did you know that there's a FREE Bible study that goes along with the book?
I created a free book study and devotional centered around 9 Thoughts. That’s right. It’s free. It comes with videos and discussion questions for each chapter, together with biblical discussion around each of the points.
I wanted to make this study completely free so that you get the most bang for your buck with this book.
