Things you can learn from books

So amongst my reading of books i tend to learn some things and of course go off into never never land but i recently have been reading books by an author named Karen Kingsbury She is a Christian author of fiction books and several series of a certain family that i can not seem to put down. While reading her fifth book in her forever series i came across a section that i ought to take to heart and thought that not only would it help me in many things but it could help many more. So I feel the need to quote her book by posting it here

Ten secrets to a happy Marriage

1. God has you here to serve one another. Love acted out is serving
2. Women need respect and nurturing, Love your wife so she knows you'd lay your life down for her. continue to date her and admire her. Share a hobby--find something you can do to have fun together.
3. Laugh often
4.Be patient. Love crumbles quickly under the weight of unmet expectations.
5. Spend more time trying to fix yourself than your spouse.
6. Keep short accounts. The Bible says, "Do not let the sun go down while you are angry." Make a habit to forgive.
7.Determine up front that divorce is not an option.
8. Learn about love languages. Not all people show love or receive it the same way. You want a back rub and your spouse wants a clean kitchen. The love languages are fairly simple: acts of service, time, physical touch, gifts, and words of affirmation. Learn them. Love is better received when it's in the language that person speaks.
9. Words of affirmation are a love language for all men.
10. Men are born to be leaders. He cannot lead unless she gives him the confidence to do so. If you love your husband, build him up. Confident men do not seek love outside the home.

These words touched me and I believe that they could for you as well and to read more great words from this author you could read some of her other books her redemption series, firstborn series where this quote came from. the sunrise series the take 1,2, and soon 3 series the 9/11 series and many more.
