Take Back Your Marriage
What this book is about
Take Back Your Marriage explores how work, parenting, community commitments, technology, and other worthwhile activities can gradually crowd out a couple’s connection. William Doherty encourages partners to protect the relationship through rituals, boundaries, shared priorities, and intentional time. The book treats commitment as something supported by repeated choices rather than good intentions alone. It can be especially useful for couples who care about one another but feel that daily logistics have become the organizing center of their relationship.

In this book, he applies those themes to couples whose relationships are being crowded by otherwise meaningful responsibilities.
Kristin says
This is a great reminder of all the distractions that pull on a marriage. Even good things such as volunteering, children, and church can separate us from our spouse. The book gives practical advice for protecting the marriage by being intentional with time.
