Editorial Review:

Product Description:


An inspirational, illustrated gift book offering a message of love and commitment for couples in all stages of matrimony.



Anyone who's ever said ⇠do⟫nows that a successful marriage is not founded on love alone. It takes commitment, hard work, and patience to make the marriage work. Charlene Costanzo's latest book, The Twelve Gifts in Marriage, reminds us all what marriage is about and offers inspirational advice that couples of all ages will cherish.



Like Charlene's first two books, Marriage opens with a parable: An elderly couple warns a young bride and groom that their life together won't always be blissful or easy, but that their love will grow deeper with time if they remember to practice twelve innate gifts栭ong them strength, faith, and compassion. The book then illustrates the twelve gifts with powerful and poignant hand–tinted photographs that offer an immediate, sensory connection to readers.



Like Charlene's first two successful books, The Twelve Gifts in Marriage brings a hopeful, inspirational message to its readers, from newlyweds to couples celebrating their Golden Anniversary.





Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wedding present
I love to give this book for a wedding present. I seem to reread it each time I purchase it and enjoy being reminded of the true gifts in life.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Remembering How Much You Mean to Each Other
Reading the Twelve Gifts of Marriage is a wonderful way to take a step back and thoughtfully consider how much your partner means to you. So often we get caught up in the day-to-day and forget those wonderful characteristics that attracted us in the first place. This book helps you remember and appreciate the strength of each other and your coupleship.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - OUTSTANDING !!!!
I gave this as a gift ot my husband and he was really touched. This would be a great gift to every married couple or a couple that will be getting married. Lots of great advice and messages to all that read it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The perfect gift to newlyweds
The story and messages in The Twelve Gifts of Marriage are so important that I give this book, along with a crystal to hang in the window, (as suggested in the story) to all my wedding couples. (I am an ordained minister.)



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Falls a bit short.
In my opinion, not quite the caliber of Charlene's "Twelve Gifts of Birth" and "Twelve Gifts for Healing". The message(s) for a happy marriage are great, but found photos uninspiring. Just OK.
