This books details my straightforward, honest, and sarcastic journey through the author's own divorce. Each chapter of this book begins with the original commandment, the "redneck version," and the author's own version. Each chapter discusses the author's view of the commandment, relative to marriage. The first chapter begins with the author's personal story of how she put her spouse before God. It discusses different ways we push God aside in our lives and how to put God back as our top priority.

It discusses how we should praise God always, not just in a time of need. The third chapter discusses much needed rest in each marriage. It details prayer time, family time, and alone time. I discuss implementing a "personal" day into your monthly schedule. This will help you rejuvenate with friends and God. Chapter four expresses concern about advice from others.
