Corey Allan shares his Simple Marriage story

Corey Allan

A few weeks back I had the privilege of chatting with Correy Allan (simplemarriage.net) for my podcast.

It great was to hear his heart and his story… and even more since he was on a short sabbatical working on his latest book, Buck Naked Marriage, which will be released next week.

My biggest take home was how vital our views of marriages are when it comes to our attitudes towards others.

Corey gets it absolutely right when he says that the point of marriage is for us to make the other person better — not for our own pleasure and happiness.

Getting into marriage with a “you complete me” mindset can be detrimental — and can bleed into our other relationships as well.

Instead, we should look at marriage as how best can we complete our spouse and make them a better person — and then learn from that and carry it into everyone relationship within our sphere of influence.

Great stuff!

Check out the interview over at the something beautiful podcast (the actual interview starts around the 11 minute mark).

And for even more be sure and grab a copy of Corey’s first book, A Simple Marriage.

UPDATE: A Buck Naked Marriage is now available. Order your copy here.
