the question that changed everything

"Being vulnerable and honest in our marriage can be very difficult. But that is exactly what Lizzy and Dave have provided in This Marriage."-Todd Downing, Offensive Coordinator, Tennessee Titans Have you ever said to yourself "There has got to be more to marriage than this?" Nine years in, they could check all the boxes: a promising career in the NFL, two beautiful kids, fitness, friends, and financial security. It was picture perfect until one jarring question from a desperate wife shook the foundation of their marriage and exposed the truth. Have you come to a point in your marriage where it is time to make a decision? Will you settle for the status quo indefinitely? Do you feel like giving up and getting out? Are you ready to go deeper at any cost? If these questions strike a chord with you, you've picked up the right book. You will find yourself here as Dave and Lizzy Canales recount their journey with poignant and often painful honesty. Whether you're fighting to save your relationship, walking in redemption, or anything in between, This Marriage? is an invitation into the high-risk adventure of an authentic and thriving marriage. "Being vulnerable and honest, especially about our marriages, can be a very difficult thing to do. But scripture tells us to share our experiences and learn from one another's testimony. That is exactly what Lizzy and Dave have provided with This Marriage. This book gives us the map to a journey of healthy relationships the way our creator intended it. Bravo, Lizzy and Dave!" "Lizzy and Dave show us through their journey what redemption and grace look like when you're walking in the spirit. They remind us we are all one decision away from changing the course of our lives. So, turn the page: this is your chance to experience the unconditional love of God." "Expressions of authentic vulnerability have the extraordinary effect of making the sad and scary parts of ourselves and our relationships not quite so sad and scary anymore. This is the invitation and the gift of Dave and Lizzy's courageous book. By sharing their story, they make it safer for us to do the same, helping us toward the healing that is possible when we own our brokenness and discover that within it exists the raw material of our wholeness and our strength." "Once I started reading This Marriage? I could not put the book down. As a now-70-year-old man (having known Dave and Lizzy for over 20 years), I have come to realize that 'the sacrifices God wants are a broken spirit and a contrite heart.' (Psalm 51:17) This book is about brokenness-the purest form of excellence. Their story of vulnerability will be used to transform marriages. Thanks for your courage and faith!" "Dave and Lizzy Canales bring their two voices together to tell one courageous story of restoration and redemption. The authors understand that we are all storytellers at heart and that when we see ourselves in one another's stories, we realize that we are not alone. Like reading a private journal, this book gives an intimate glimpse into a marriage that had to hit rock bottom to become rock solid." "Dave and Lizzy Canales open up with remarkable transparency about the most painful parts of their marriage to show that with Jesus, there is always hope. It is not just that a marriage can be saved, not just that divorce can be avoided, but that God takes the broken pieces and makes something more beautiful than before. This Marriage? is the best book on marriage I have ever read, and I will be recommending it to my entire church." "Dave & Lizzy are the epitome of what Jesus imagines married couples should love and live like! The power of Jesus' grace and mercy over their lives is so evident-all the way from their bond to the deeply enriched beauty spiritually of their family and children. Dave's authenticity and humility are genuinely awe-inspiring not only as a coach fo
