Finally, some sensible advice and caring encouragement when it comes to those who tend to give in to temptation and for those who suffer for their bad decision-making--Pastor Larry Paxson, a twenty-four-year veteran of relational Christian counseling, shares insights into the healing process.

There is so much confusion about why we do such dumb things even when we know it will crush a relationship or a loved one's heart. And the only excuses that are given over and over are, "I don't know why I did it," "I guess I just wasn't thinking," "it meant nothing to me," "I didn't mean to hurt anyone," "that is not who I am," "I would never hurt my significant other," but they do and did. They break hearts and end the trust that has been built over the years in the relationship. It is almost like they were listening to someone's whispers and were under their spell to do wrong. And the realization is, that is exactly what happened.

In this book, we will come to realize just how it happens and why. Reading this book could be the one thing that will keep your marriage together. One Step from Stupid: Living Life with One Finger on the Dumb Button is a must read for couples who are struggling in their relationships, for church counselors, and pastors who do Christian counseling. It is for anyone who accepts the challenge of trying to hold together a marriage or a relationship instead of following the way of our culture and just ending it. After all, it is so much easier than working on it, trying to make it better than it ever was before. Yes, it is possible for a complete healing of the relationship. We just need to know how. It is not from being one step from stupid and pushing the dumb button again and giving up.
