Secrets to Having a Successful and Happy Marriage

Stephanie Pate’s compendium of aphoristic advice on conjugal life, Secrets to Having a Successful and Happy Marriage, draws on diverse sources, ranging from the Bible to spiritualist ideas such as the Law of Attraction. The first section of the book, focusing on the key to a fulfilling married life, addresses how the reader can develop important traits such as humility, faithfulness, and positivity, using relatable exegetical readings of the Bible. However, the book does not restrict itself to guidance on marriage; the book’s second section provides practical advice on self-development. Drawing on Scripture and the Law of Attraction, this section provides pragmatic insights on reprograming your mind and aligning yourself to your own truth. Using a combination of personal insight, Biblical exegesis, and spiritualist thought, Pate creates a text that can serve as guide to self-development, both within marriage and without.
