I realized I’ve been purchasing DVD’s that will help me motivate people to positive change. Hey, using clips in a message is like quoting a book. It gives credit to the right person, and encourages people to support the artists.

Now Mark Gungor’s Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage, is not something you want to use clips from. When you buy the DVD’s there is a note telling you how to get the rights to show it in a church. Do this pastors – it’s easy enough to do, and it helps to support more projects like this that are a valuable resource to followers of Christ.

Now there are clips all over the web, so I thought it would be fun to show you one of my favorites so you’d get a feel for the tone and style of most of the DVD’s.

Kaz and I took the time to watch the DVD’s over a couple of weeks. It opens up discussion beautifully. It’s couple time to invest in your relationship… and trust me, the investment is worth it.

It’s not a systematic approach to counseling. Sometimes your laughing so much you need to think hard to remember the point. There were moments I wish he gave a 10 step plan – especially explaining how he “slow roasts” his wife, since he’s “the initiator. But what you glean is powerful and it’s best feature is opening up discussion points between partners.

That’s easy to do when your laughing.

Kaz and I are both excited to try his Flag Page Test to help us define what we truly love about life. I want to know Kaz’s 5 love statements. Maybe I’ll write about it after we try it out. I’m intrigued with his assertion that what is wrong about counselling is that we try to fix what’s wrong, instead of building on what is right. He’s on to something there.

So, as you can tell, I highly recommend Mark Gungor’s Laugh Your Way to A Better Marriage. The book looks great as well. Pastor’s show it in your churches. Couples, get a copy to enjoy in your own home… OK I’ll leave you with another video clip from it… enjoy.
