Comments

About this book, author Kristine Litster Fales writes, “I initially started writing ABC's for a Happy Marriage because I wanted to pass on to my children, nieces, and nephews the simple, basic principles that I believed would help them enjoy happy marriages. I spent many years carefully selecting every word as I wrote and rewrote each poem.

“One night after I thought I was finally finished, I prayed to know if there were anything else I was supposed to add to my book. As I received no immediate answer, I went to bed. I then awoke from a dream in the early morning hours with these words coming repeatedly into my mind, ‘Poetry from Heaven heals the troubled heart.’

“As I pondered the message of this dream, I finally had to ask myself out loud, ‘What is poetry from Heaven?’ A few hours later it came to me—Scriptures! I suddenly understood that I was supposed to find a scripture to support each poem I had written. After many months of searching the scriptures, I finally found my ‘poetry from Heaven’ that I hoped would help all people heal their ‘troubled hearts’ and find true happiness in marriage.”
