Happily Remarried

*Making Decisions Together *Blending Families Successfully* Building a Love That Will Last

“I have found this book to be very well written with a wealth of information and an abundance of illustrations that not only clarify the material being presented, but also provide material for pastors and counselors to use in sermons, speeches, and other addresses. I also found this book to be timely since we are experiencing such an increase in remarriages in the Christian community. I appreciate the fact that they approach the subject of remarriage instead of merely providing another book about divorce. Who could question the four principles they use as the basis of the book? These are basic, essential, and on target for Christians, and all people for that matter, who are considering remarriage. The second half of the book is so practical and deals with the nuts and bolts issues staring newly remarried couples in the face. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to pastors and counselors.”
—Dr. Dan Casey, Senior Pastor, First Church of the Nazarene

“The four key strategies for marital unity are superb and practical. We need to urge people to look at marriage as irreversible and a deep spiritual union serving God together.”
—Paul and Pauline Hicks, Retired Nazarene Pastors

“My wife (21 years) and I were happy to meet David and Lisa this past November here at North Coast. They conducted a book signing for our Corner Bookstore and we were impressed with their insight, humility, and servant hearts. I read Happily Remarried prior to the book signing and was immediately impressed with the common sense and Biblically grounded approach to the ever increasing phenomenon of remarriage. I only wished that I had the book 20 years ago when after a painful divorce, I eventually found the courage to re–marry and devote my life again to family and marriage. I have recommended the book to our Singles Ministry pastors and will continue to bring it up to anybody that brings up the subject of remarriage.”
—Dave Garcia, Bookstore Manager/Gospel Worship Director, North Coast Church

“Happily Remarried is filled with real life stories that give practical insight and hope. Every couple entering into a first time marriage or remarriage should read this book. Pastors and Christian counselors will also find this a great Biblical resource to help couples understand the lifelong commitment marriage requires.”
—Gary Van Derford, Pastor–Oceanside Campus, North Coast Church

“David and Lisa Frisbie confidently set forth their suggestions, for in their travels they ‘continue to meet courageous, hope–filled people who have survived divorce.’ The challenges are clear, but with God’s help happy second marriages are possible.”
—Ed Robinson, Ph.D., President, MidAmerica Nazarene University

“David and Lisa Frisbie share effective tools for living life in a stepfamily in a humorous yet effective way.”
—Stephen and Deanna Kaech, community leaders, Stepfamily Ministry, Saddleback Church

“Remarried couples and those individuals considering remarriage will find excellent counsel in this sensitively written text. Even those who have been married once will discover sound principles for deepening their marital relationship while simultaneously becoming more aware of the challenges their remarried friends and family members must face day to day as they seek to create a permanent, loving home environment.”

“I read this book three times the week I bought it. It’s already helped me with my husband’s kids, especially Chapters 8 and 9. My husband stayed up late one night and read the whole book. This book is great for anyone trying to raise a stepfamily. I highly recommend it.”
—Jaimie Fisher

“Happily Remarried is a wonderfully practical book. It is easy to follow and easy to understand. This book includes very helpful tips and strategies for making a marriage work. It is spiritually based, with humor and real–life stories mixed in to make it most effective. I recommend it to anyone who is getting remarried, someone who is already remarried, or counselors and pastors who could use the book in counseling.”
—Lisa Calhoun

“Finally! A book for those of us who are already remarried. Thank you for publishing Happily Remarried! This is the first book I’ve seen that tells me not only what to expect in parenting (been there!) but also what to do about it (very helpful!). I’d recommend this book for any remarried couple raising a family!”
?Erin Milliken

“Jared and I bought this book at a seminar in Dallas. The book is helping us grow together as a couple (his second marriage, my first). Some of the ideas seem basic, but we weren’t doing them before, and we are now. This book has helped us know how to get started. It is very readable; we are ‘fighting’ over who gets to read it next!”
—Cindy Gleason

“This book has touched my heart in so many ways. My dad’s father walked out on grandma when my dad was five, and it impacted our family even through my teenage years. I grew up not really understanding why Daddy’s heart was still hurting, and I didn’t realize until my own marriage that I had inherited that same pain—a fear of being abandoned, divorced and rejected. Happily Remarried has given my husband and I the ammunition to destroy those fears, protect our marriage, and understand the hearts of those we love who have suffered through the pain of divorce. A HUGE thank you to David and Lisa for sharing their wealth of experience in this sensitive area! It is so beautifully written, I felt like they were in my living room, sharing iced tea and having a long heart–to–heart conversation. Bless you for writing this book.”
