Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy.

Publisher's Summary
Gary Thomas, pastor and best-selling author of Sacred Marriage, believes that one simple word can bring hope, light, and life into any marriage: Cherish.
Most marriages survive by gritting teeth and holding on. But what if surviving marriage wasn't the goal? What if we aimed to thrive instead? In Cherish, Thomas teaches us that although there are a countless number of marriages consisting of two people just going through the motions, there are real ways this pattern can be reversed: When husbands and wives learn to cherish one another in their everyday actions and words.
The way we treat something acknowledges whether we cherish it or hold it with indifference or contempt. To truly cherish something is to go out of our way to show it off, protect it, and honor it. We want others to see and recognize and affirm the value that we see. Thomas reminds us that in a world desperate for marriage redemption, the act of cherishing is needed now more than ever.
Cherishing your spouse will elevate your marriage relationally, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. You will set different goals for your relationship, and you'll see your marriage with fresh eyes. Through personal stories, real-world examples, and timeless biblical truths, Thomas shares the tools you need to turn your marriage around, including:
- Using your mind to change your heart
- Sacrificing for your spouse
- Praying with intentionality
- Prioritizing your life partner
Through the biblical act of cherishing, we can empower our spouses to become who they are called by God to be, and in the process to become more of who we are called to be, creating a marriage that feels more precious, more connected, and more satisfying. If you're ready to revolutionize your relationship, it's time to learn how to truly Cherish it.

A gift from above
My best friend passed away 13 years ago. ~Cherish~ was a word she used to use a lot. So much so we teased her about it sometimes. Fast forward to 2016, I was struggling in my marriage, I prayed and out loud, verbally asked my best friend to HELP ME!! I started browsing for books and within minutes there it was right before me *CHERISH*... wow. I was shocked. I was even MORE shocked it was about MARRIAGE. I bought it without even reading the whole summary. It was a sign from above, truly for me it was. I was a little turned off by the constant religious references ( I'm more spiritual than religious I guess) and I almost stopped within the first chapter. BUT because of how this book came to me, I had to complete it. Period. And I did. I'm so glad I did :) I also had my husband listen to it as well. It helped us tremendously and was the first book we both listened to, to aid in our marriage troubles. almost 3 years later and 12 years of marriage, we are stronger than ever. I even have the word tattooed on my arm now :) So thank you! To the author and my best friend <3

The effects of applying this book are seen.
It took me two weeks to get through this book. However having immediately applied what I was learning in this book before I was even able to finish it my wife told me that she was feeling cherished by me and that she could actually see and feel it. That is a huge testimony for her to say that to me. Sometimes the simple things we should just know we need to be taught and that which should be obvious is not always. This is now one of my highest recommended books to others I know. Thank you Gary Thomas!

Okay
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No, it is pretty much the same montra we have been hearing for the last 50yrs. Men, get in touch with your feminin side. I would recommend love and respect by Emmrson & Sarah Eggrich and The Meaning of Marriage by Timothy & Kathy Keller
Has Cherish turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
Could you see Cherish being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No

One of my favorites on marriage - a great investment of time and money
“Cherish” was always been a very important concept for me. Applying it hasn’t been as easy lately. I really appreciated Gary’s enthusiasm and examples for both husbands and wives. This was well worth my time and as a mother of 9 that homeschools, that is really saying something significant. I’d love for my spouse to listen to this and for anyone to do the same. It improved my perspective and thinking. I believe marriages should always be something we invest in and this is a great investment.

Amazing book for christian couples!
This was the first audiobook I have ever listened to and also the first Gary Thomas book, i tend to prefer hard copies for reading any kind of book usually. However, i breezed through this fantastic book.
It is absolutely geared towards married christian couples and would benefit single christians as well. I will definitely read/listen to more Gary Thomas books.
