Falling in love is easy, says Jim Daly. Staying in love is the challenge. That’s just one of the lessons he learned when compiling The Best Advice I Ever Got on Marriage. It’s a collection of insights shared by a number of respected couples. For example, his friend Andy Stanley shared with him, “We focus on the external qualities of love and ignore the internal. We treat love like a noun. It’s an experience that happened. A moment. A thing … It’s not an event or a one-time thing. It is not a firework feeling or a field of flowers. It’s an action.”
