Abstract:
WHAT INGREDIENTS GO INTO A SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP?
Discover how one couple did it. Explore their courage and perseverance as they survive and are nourished by their life-long commitment to each other.

This is the true story of Ruth and Jack’s remarkable life together. Experience their trials as they accommodate unrelated but needy children and elders of the family, and face the challenges of a fifteen-month bout with alcoholism. Through the years, this couple managed to enjoy reasonable happiness, though unduly influenced by an undercurrent of creeping materialism. Find out how a Marriage Encounter weekend changed everything, and how it drew them into a new life marked by extraordinary accomplishments. Their story continues with highlights from the spiritual forces in their lives, and ends with their aging, Ruth’s illness, and death.

Share one couple’s life moments through their peaks and valleys. Feel the uniqueness, truthfulness, and intimate details. And let their story influence your own.
