MARRIED FOREVER: The Four Seasons of Marriage - 65 Years is not just a memoir-it's your essential, hands-on workbook for building a lasting, joyful marriage in any season of life. Drawing from 65 years of marriage to his wife Sonja and real-world experience, David Selley offers more than stories; he delivers a proven, practical guide for couples at every stage, whether you're newlyweds, navigating midlife chaos, or celebrating decades together.
This book blends heartfelt and sometimes humorous personal narrative with actionable tools, reflection prompts, and relationship check-ins. Each chapter is designed as a step-by-step resource to help you and your partner identify which "season" you're in-Spring's fresh beginnings, Summer's hectic growth, Autumn's transitions, or Winter's deep connection-and gives you strategies to thrive through them all.
Because marriage isn't just about enduring the years-it's about creating a life together that's meaningful, joyful, and uniquely yours, in every season.
Inside you'll find:
Relationship exercises and check-ins tailored for every season, so you can reflect, reconnect, and grow together.
The "95/5 Technique" and "Emotional Richter Scale"-simple, effective methods for communicating, resolving conflict, and strengthening your bond.
Journaling prompts and practical takeaways to help you apply each lesson to your own marriage, right away.
Humor, wisdom, and encouragement from a couple who have truly seen it all-and want you to succeed.
David Selley's journey with Sonja provides the inspiration, but this book is for you: a roadmap, a toolkit, and a companion for your unique path. Whether you're facing the excitement of new love, the challenges of raising a family, the changes of an empty nest, or the quiet joys of growing old together, MARRIED FOREVER offers the guidance and hope you need.
Don't just read about a great marriage-build your own. Let this workbook guide you through every season, with honesty, laughter, and the wisdom of a life deeply lived. The story is real, the tools are practical, and the results can last a lifetime.
