What People Are Saying About ‘What It Means When I Say ‘I Do’

“Containing 35 in-depth promises and a treasure trove of wise, godly counsel, What It Means When I Say ‘I Do’ is among the finest pieces of literature on the topic of marriage that I have ever read.”

Debbie McDermott, Author & Editor, New Zealand Christian Writers

“As a pastor and celebrant, this is the book I've been waiting for! I'll be recommending and using this book in my work with couples, and in pre-marriage counselling. The writer's ability to navigate the deepest matters of the heart in such an approachable style makes this book accessible and relevant for all..”

Missy Ditchburn, Pastor & Celebrant
The Salvation Army, Fiji, Tonga & Samoa

“In this book, Cindy offers us warm, wise, and winsome guidance on how married couples can live out love in action. Rather than framing a healthy marriage as a set of rules to be followed, Cindy draws upon the power of a promise anchored in the ocean of our deep desire to love well.”

Dr Johnny Weir. Director of Ministry Training, Carey Baptist College

This book holds poignant wisdom to be used as a resource for couples and groups alike. Exploring the promises, which are more easily kept and which we find more challenging offers thought-provoking and enriching conversation opportunities.
