What if your marriage life was like a romance novel? What would it be like if you met your spouse on the street as a complete stranger? What if you lost your memory and this person was a brand-new person to you? Popular romance novelist Susan May Warren, author of The Shadow of Your Smile, is our guest on this episode of Mad About Marriage. She raises intriguing questions like that in her books and actually has many of the answers!

Have you ever awakened and felt somehow there was a stranger lying beside you? Yes, the person who is supposed to be your spouse. Husband-and-wife physician and therapist Paul and Teri Reisser have focused on that particular issue in their book, Your Spouse Isn’t the Person You Married.

Our guests are David and Claudia Arp, founders of Marriage Alive International. They are also the authors of 10 Great Dates to Energize Your Marriage and share why it’s necessary to still date your spouse!

Dr. Terri Orbach, also known as The Love Doctor, is here to share why we don’t understand the opposite sex. She’s also the author of the book, 5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage from Good to Great.

On this episode of Mad About Marriage, Scott Stanley, Ph.D., co-director of the Center for Marital and Family Studies at the University of Denver and author of The Power of Commitment and Fighting for Your Marriage, shares how committing to a lifetime partner can be powerful and rewarding in many ways.

They say opposites attract – but what happens if they stop?  David and Teresa Ferguson, authors of Never Alone – Devotions for Couples, show how couples can overcome and look beyond their differences once the novelty of their attraction wears off.

Willie and Elaine Oliver, directors of the Department of Family Ministries at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Silver Spring, MD, join hosts Mike and Gayle Tucker on this episode of Mad About Marriage. The Olivers help define marriage commitment, discuss the challenges of marriage, and share their understanding of living happily ever after.

Hosts Mike and Gayle Tucker are joined by Dr. David Schnarch, a licensed clinical psychologist, director of the Marriage and Family Health Center in Evergreen, Colorado, and author. Dr. Schnarch answers common questions on intimacy in a marriage and the relationship between spirituality and sex.
