Somewhere beneath the triumphs, tribulations, successes, disappointments, hopes, and hurts of marriage lies the promises we made to our spouse. We promised love, fidelity, respect, through sickness and in health. This book is about one average guy of average means who has struggled to keep those promises and failed on many occasions. It’s a glimpse into the heart of a Christian soldier who fights for his marriage with no basic training. To be sure the battle is not flesh and blood but against powers and principalities of a world set against God’s purpose for marriage. This book is a journey of self-discovery and a transparent model of what he faces everyday as a husband. Read closely and honestly, and perhaps discover that this book is about you

"David Martin's newest book, I Promise - Reflections on Marriage, contain the thoughts of an undeniably transparent writer. This book will challenge some of your most fundamental beliefs about marriage.  It is full of insights and fun to read."

-Minister Johnny Parker| Author of Blueprints for Marriage: Building Love for a Lifetime

"This book truly offers incredible insights into life, purpose, and the
world of marriage. Definitely a must for those who are married, or wish to be married some day."

-Gene Redd - President, The Marriage Mentoring Network Inc.

I thank you for being obedient to the prodding of the Lord to sit and document your reflections.  I can honestly see how they would be helpful to married couples, particularly husbands and maybe even husbands-to-be.  The whole book is excellent, but I especially enjoyed Husbands as Visionary and What is in a Title, as well as the Scripture references and Discussion questions at the end of each chapter.

-Rev. Wilmot H. Taylor- Sr. Pastor, Flatbush Tompkins Congregational Church
