Marriages that last over four decades require a lot of grace and hard work. So when one of those couples open up their lives for the whole world to observe within the context of a book, I take notice.
In Don’t Go to Bed Angry—Stay Up and Fight, I loved Deb and Ron’s honest approach to marital conflict, personal stories, and everyday application of biblical truth. Their “rules for having an argument” were obviously birthed out of their own marital conflict and experiences—the good, bad, and the ugly. I look forward to sharing this book with other couples who might need to learn how to fight for their marriages.

In every marriage, there is conflict. And with every conflict, there is a choice for resolution. Will you ignore the issue until it seemingly goes away? Or will you work together to find peace?
In Don’t Go to Bed Angry, Deb and Ron DeArmond give you permission to fight. Conflict isn’t the problem, after all; the real issue is how we deal with the conflict. Deb and Ron demonstrate how communication through conflict can safeguard—and even strengthen—your relationship. Immensely practical features including worksheets and discussion questions make this a definitive go-to resource to help you start fighting—together—for your marriage.
