We Re-Do: Our Journey to Rediscovery & Recommitment

More about the book

Many individuals entering marriage are unaware of the depths of commitment they are making, especially when facing the challenges that can arise. Stacia and Ed Gowens invite readers on a journey through their experience of TRUE love, from young, starry-eyed romance to the struggles of infidelity. The narrative unfolds from three perspectives: Stacia’s “She-Do,” Ed’s “He-Do,” and their shared “We-Do.” Their story is accompanied by a musical backdrop, featuring songs that mark significant phases of their relationship, from “Young Love” to “Endless Love.” As they navigate their journey, the Gowens highlight the warning signs they overlooked, common marital obstacles, and the vital lessons learned, offering guidance to other couples. Their tale encompasses sadness, humor, and joy, illustrating how they not only survived but thrived in their relationship. By fostering a supportive community, prioritizing honest communication, and maintaining faith, even in challenging times, they overcame the vow many make: “I will never stay with someone who cheats on me!” Their experiences serve as a testament to the possibility of working through adversity, leading to a renewed commitment and a deeper love that has become an integral part of their lives for nearly twenty-five years.
