We Made a Pact

Book excerpt: Like millions of couples before them, Chris and Carol Green stood before a pastor, in front of family and friends, and recited the wedding vows. However, a few months later, they couldn't have a simple conversation without a very strained atmosphere. All they had was silence and disillusionment. In a last desperate attempt to save their floundering marriage they sat down together and made a PACT. They didn't know that their special promise would carry them for more than thirty years. Today they share their 'PACT' as a life-principles guide for couples that sincerely desire to build a legacy of love in spite of family histories that may be riddled with desertions, divorce and disappointment. Through their raw and bluntly honest stories, memories, reflections and anecdotes, you will relive Chris and Carol's journey, gleaning answers, wisdom and understanding for your marriage and family relationships. Now, as part of their mission to rebuild, restore and renew hearts and homes in the urban community they are sharing the precepts that preserved, sustained and elevated their relationship.
