God proved his sense of humor by inventing marriage. The problem is that we often fail to get the delightful joke that can produce joy for a lifetime -- how two radically different, shockingly incompatible, deeply flawed, and incurably bent people can actually become one. Marriage is an expression of the humorous side of God's grace. We dare you not to laugh when you see yourself (and your marriage) in these pages. - Publisher.
