This NFL Coach and his wife were living the picture perfect or Christian marriage until one jarring question from a desperate wife shook the foundation of their marriage and exposed the truth.

“Dave & Lizzy are the epitome of what Jesus imagines married couples should love and Live like!

 “Dave’s authenticity and humility is truly awe-inspiring not only as a Coach for the Seattle Seahawks but more importantly as a friend of God! His servitude and compassion is gravitating.  Dave’s adoration for Lizzy inspires me daily. Lizzy is not only a Proverbs 31 woman of God, but she is an angel on earth. She is an inspiration for women by the way she loves. Their book is a must-read if you want a lasting marriage. Jesus is always first! “

 —Russell Wilson, NFL Quarterback

 “As we were running wind sprints during the week of our championship game, our head coach continued to ask us a question as he perceived our fatigue “How Bad Do You Want It?” By asking us that question he was saying, “I know you may feel like giving up but how bad do you want to win the championship? I know you may not think you can do anymore, but how much does it mean to you? Is it worth it? Are you willing to keep working?

 “Marriage can have you feeling the same way. As you encounter tough times (which is to be expected) you will ask yourself this question over and over again, is it worth it? This book is a must-read if your answer is “my marriage is worth it, I’m not going to give up.

 "Dave and Lizzy do a great job of sharing real-life experiences which should encourage us, warn us and instruct us. Their marriage serves as an example of what God can do when we say “Yes, my marriage is worth it!”

 —Sherman Smith, NFL Coach (former)

 “The masterpiece This Marriage? is what the culture needs. We are lacking authenticity and the Canales’s give it to us! This book will challenge your marriage’s implement of Grace and will offer you and your spouse hope! Dave and Lizzy do a masterful job being real, raw, and authentic! This is a must-read!”

 —Jonathan Rainey, Co-Chaplain at The Fellowship of Christian Athletes

 “This Marriage? is the one question that changes it all and throughout the book, I was forced to ask myself the same question. Dave and Lizzy’s transparency will lead, guide, and direct you and your spouse to true freedom and authenticity. If you desire to “connect” or “re-connect” with your spouse, Dave and Lizzy provide the way in This Marriage.”

 —Scott Cooper, Vice President, The Fellowship of Christian Athletes
