“The Argument-Free Marriage” by Fawn Weaver *28 day marriage challenge*

“The Argument-Free Marriage: 28 Days to Creating the Marriage You’ve Always Wanted with the Spouse You Already Have” by Fawn Weaver

It is suggested that this book be read during a 28 day period so the chapters are written in days and weeks formatting. Each “chapter” is for a specific day and week. I have read thru this book but have not completed the 28 day challenge yet. I will be starting it as a daily challenge this coming week. I really like that at the end of each day, there are journaling/challenge questions to help the reader reflect on the chapter and what they can do differently or what they are currently doing. After reading this book, I KNOW this book can help me be a better spouse and person.

Gary Chapman writes the forward of this book so just reading his testimonial gave me affirmation that this book was worth reading.

For the past 11 years, the author Fawn Weaver has been speaking to others about her thoughts on a happy marriage.

I love that on day 1 she asks the question, “WHY did you choose your spouse”? “WHAT made you choose your spouse? Out of the seven billion people in the word, what was so special about him or her that caused you to forsake all others?” She goes on to say that if the reader keeps this question in mind, they will have a more fulfilling journey during the 28 day challenge.

The author states at the very beginning of this book, that this book and challenge ARE NOT intended for people who are in an abuse relationship. Just keep that in mind when sharing this book with others.

She says, “The plan for an argument-free marriage is simple: stop the arguments; and then restore, revive, and re-energize the intimacy in your relationship.”

I like that she addresses the definition and gives examples of an argument versus a discussion in day 2 reading. I feel like that is very important to read and distinguish the differences between those 2 words and actions.

In day 3 she talks about PLAN B, which I’m sorry to say that because I was previously divorced at a very young age (age 20!) I have a tendency to want to protect myself from getting hurt again that I feel myself thinking about Plan B sometimes. WHICH IS WRONG! and I plan to change that! I agree that if you have a plan B, or “just in case” thoughts, you are not fully ready for this challenge or book. “We live in a society of plan Bs”.

I like that the author shares personal experiences-good and bad-as examples on how to achieve an argument free marriage.

I found this book very inspiring and I’m hoping that if I stay consistent with this 28 day challenge along with prayer, that I can become a more Godly woman and wife.

I received this book complimentary from booklookbloggers.com in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media. All opinions are my own.

About the book:
Is an argument-free marriage possible? Fawn Weaver’s answer is yes, absolutely, even when one or both partners are strong willed, independent, and opinionated. (She admits to being all three.) In this groundbreaking book, the best-selling author and award-winning marriage blogger asks readers to invest twenty-eight days in learning how to live together without bickering, blame, angry outbursts, or silent treatments.

Fawn begins with the startling premise that, contrary to popular opinion, conflict in marriage is not necessary or inevitable. Then she leads readers on a day-by-day journey toward a more peaceful and supportive relationship. Chapter by brief chapter, she offers fresh perspectives and practical strategies for communicating effectively, building understanding, and defusing anger while at the same time nurturing honesty, vulnerability, and mutual support.
