What People Are Saying
"Myself and my wife are at the most amazing spot in our marriage right now and I only have you to thank for that! We have both learned how to communicate with one another on a respectful level which has allowed us to better understand the other’s position without hostility ... I can't thank you enough for sticking with me and making sure I was on the right path and pointing me toward the Lord" ~ Chris, Houston, TX
"How are you not a marriage coach full time? You have inspired me so much today. I have been so down and so close to saying 'what happens, happens,' but you have given me new hope" ~ Andrew, Houston, TX
"You are so in tune to exactly what and how to restore our marriages. You are so right...all we want is to be loved and cherished." ~ Mara, Houston, TX
"Robert Cossick's new book deals with one of the major growing problems facing our society: the breakup of marriages. His effort is eminently readable and valuable to anyone contemplating such a step." ~ Herb Cohen, Author of You Can Negotiate Anything and Negotiate This. The former title spent 39 weeks on the NY Times Non-Fiction Bestsellers List
"For the Honor of the Vow is one of the best books on this subject I have ever studied. It can become one of the most valuable tools available to help restore a troubled marriage. As a pastoral counselor I find it to be a blessing to marriages on the brink of ruin. The author has lived the principles in his own eighteen year marriage. No doubt this book will help marriages become all God intended marriage to be." -Wally, Pastoral Counselor, Houston, TX
"You have created a masterpiece here, one that God will surely use to bring encouragement and hope to men in trouble with their negative thoughts, feeling and actions toward marriage." ~ Louis, Pastor of Pastoral Care, Houston, TX
"I really like your writing style: humorous, easy to follow, good flow, challenging and convicting." ~ Jeff , Pastor, From His Heart Ministries, Texarkana, TX
"You have a good book and I hope to be able to use it in my counseling and Divorce Recovery Workshops. You are so on target when you stated that most of the time people come to you after the fact wanting you to put the marriage back together and the damage is already done in most cases. Too, men, as you suggest are usually the last to seek help because of the pride issue. They don't realize that they are just supposed to LOVE their wives. Most wives desire to share their life with their husband and not be excluded from the TEAM. When the wife loses respect and honor for their mate the marriage is usually over. You were correct in stating that DIVORCE hurts the children and generations following. A good friend once told me that divorce is never final, especially when there are children involved. Too, you stated correctly that the greater extended family suffers - great grandparents, grandparents, parents, the couple, children, and even their children in the future. I liked the emphasis upon the marriage ceremony being a Covenant Ceremony ... two people covenanting together ... for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in good times and bad times, until death do they part. The idea for the Covenant Marriage goes all the way back to the Covenant God made with Abraham and before that the Garden of Eden when God saw that man needed a 'helpmate'. The idea of 'Covenant' and what it means and stands for is not emphasized enough in marriage counseling or the ceremony itself in most cases." -Bob, Pastor, San Angelo, TX
