Book Cover & Preview Text
An aphoristic collection of actionable wisdom for those seeking a key to a fulfilling married life and rewarding inner life, Stephanie Pate’s Secrets to Having a Successful and Happy Marriage might provide you with crucial and often surprising nuggets of advice. Pate’s insights about marriage leave out nothing: she discusses how to forgive, how to complement one another, how to remain humble, and all the other concerns marriage entails. Packed into this small volume is abundant advice from astonishingly diverse sources: right below a quote from Matthew, you find a reference to the power couple Beyoncé and Jay Z. Always relatable and personal, Pate’s advice is, at heart, a sincere and practical exegesis of the Bible’s wisdom. It often directly addresses the little events of daily life: “Find ways throughout the day to make physical contact. Hug and kiss your partner often,” she writes. Marriage is Pate’s key theme, but the book’s guidance is not limited to that one facet of life. The second section of the book is filled with pithy insights on self-development, drawing from a blend of religious and spiritualist thought. Here, Rhonda Byrne fans may be delighted to find Pate applying the Law of Attraction—which says your thoughts can shape the world around you—to recommend that readers use vision boards to “reprogram the mind.” The book reads as a punchy series of loosely connected aphorisms on marriage and personal development. This tight structure makes the volume perfect for intermittent meditative reading, but it can be difficult to quickly digest the book in a single sitting, for this is no casual airport read. Pate’s succinct and heartfelt book will leave you with a positive and transformative desire to reflect deeply on the secrets to a fulfilling married and inner life.

About the Book
Stephanie Pate’s compendium of aphoristic advice on conjugal life, Secrets to Having a Successful and Happy Marriage, draws on diverse sources, ranging from the Bible to spiritualist ideas such as the Law of Attraction. The first section of the book, focusing on the key to a fulfilling married life, addresses how the reader can develop important traits such as humility, faithfulness, and positivity, using relatable exegetical readings of the Bible. However, the book does not restrict itself to guidance on marriage; the book’s second section provides practical advice on self-development. Drawing on Scripture and the Law of Attraction, this section provides pragmatic insights on reprograming your mind and aligning yourself to your own truth. Using a combination of personal insight, Biblical exegesis, and spiritualist thought, Pate creates a text that can serve as guide to self-development, both within marriage and without.
