"We shared Fifty Years from Now at our council meeting last weekend in Ft. Worth. We had about 450 people attend. When we played it all of the couples, cried, applauded and (gave) a standing ovation. The songs on the CD are great. God truly sent you to us -- thank you for your work you do."

It's no secret that marriage is one of the most difficult things any of us will ever do.

Like anything worth doing, it takes commitment and a lot of hard work to do it well. Over forty per cent of marriages fail in the United States and unfortunately the numbers are no better among Christian couples.

When you're trying to learn how to do something you want to learn about it from someone with experience. As my friend Gary McSpadden says, "If you want to learn how to fly, talk to a pilot."

Accordingly, for this CD we interviewed four couples whose combined experience total 207 years of marriage! Their stories inspire and challenge. In addition, the piece the Top Ten Reason Why Marriage is Good for You shares sobering statistics that encourage couples to work harder on keeping their marriage relationship healthy.

The five songs on the project deal honestly with the emotions and pain that arise when a marriage is in trouble. Christian marriage counselors have reported that Fifty Years from Now has been a tremendous ice-breaker for couples who have reached the place where communication feels almost impossible.

Whatever the state of your marriage, it is our prayer that this CD resource will bless your marriage, strengthening and re-invigorating it for years to come.

"Fifty Years from Now is the best wedding gift ever! It's incredible music."

"We've found that after hearing Fifty Years From Now it moves couples to a point of brokenness and a desire to reconcile hurts. A very gifted contribution."

"Fifty Years from Now played a major contribution in healing a marriage that was on the brink of ruin. Thank you for what you do through Music for the Soul. Your work has been a gift to those of us in the helping and counseling professions."

"We're always looking for resources that will bless the body of Christ. There were sixty couples at our last (marriage) retreat. We played Fifty Years From Now and sold all thirty copies. If we'd had sixty, we would've sold sixty."

"A great resource for marriage education programs. And, I believe you that these save marriages on their own - just by listening."

"My husband, who is a pastor, and I, were so moved by the music and the testimonials and we want to THANK YOU for this unique creation. We will be purchasing many copies."

"Just received your excellent CD and within two hours we were playing it in a counseling session. It was the right song and the timing was exquisite for them to hear those lyrics."

"I read the lyrics and previewed the song ÔBefore God' and I feel that it is just what I need to hear at this time. My husband is going through a mid-life crisis and I am fighting with everything I have to keep him home and keep him from making a decision about our family that we will all regret. Finding your website was a Godsend. Thank you for your ministry."

"This is what couples need to hear. We play it at our weekends and you should see the looks on their faces as they listen. It is very powerful. We've even know of three couples who have used Fifty Years from Now when they renewed their vows!"
