Danny Ray’s New Book Gives the Gift of Magic for Your Marriage! – Opinion

Do you need a Christmas present last minute? If your friends and family are either married or engaged No, I Can’t Make Your Wife Disappear may just fit the bill—even as a stocking stuffer!

Even before getting married, I had read many self-help books on marriage. Some books did contain the right ingredients to transform couples, but most of them were too complicated or focused on specific religious tenets.

No, I Can’t Make Your Wife DisappearThis book contains 176 pages full of practical nuggets about marital wisdom. It is free and clear, without any chasers, hoops or legalistic bludgeons.

Danny Ray, author, is not a psychologist, marriage counselor or psychiatrist. Since 1997, Ray has been a professional magician as well as a businessman and entertainer. With a background in communicative disorders and Divinity, in 2003, Ray left his youth pastor job to launch what he considers his ministry: to empower people to “run a better race” in life. According to his website, Ray does this through, “making people laugh, and blowing their minds with unique illusions.”

Ray’s principles for creating high-quality and successful illusions are also the principles that a married couple could use to build a happy and fulfilling marriage. Ray and Kimberly were happily married 25 years ago and have raised their three children. So, they have some insight into how to ignite, revive, or refine the “magic” in a marriage.

As Ray says in his first principle, “Misdirection,”

“The Magic is created when we focus on the right thing, at the right time.”

Ray’s principles follow a well-worn self-help format:

  1. Principle
  2. Exploration
  3. Application
  4. Summary

What gives the exploration and application a fresh take is the section called, “Kimberly’s Corner,” which expands the principles from his wife’s lens. Buttressed between Ray’s well-written prose, it enhances the concepts, and moves the work out of the realm of self-help lecture, and into the ethos of sitting down with trusted friends.

Ray’s concise, clear, and humorously descriptive explanations, anecdotes, and advice make for a fluid read. But don’t let the fluidity fool you: the weight of the words are heftier than the deck of cards Ray often handles.

 

Ray also lets us know that what appears to be magic, is borne out of a lot of hard work, practice, and an understanding that you don’t reach some plateau where the work ends and you coast into the sunset. It works, if you do it right. You work it.

If you give your spouse the time and attention they need, as well as the following principles Ray suggests, it is possible to create the magic in marriage.

No, I Can’t Make Your Wife Disappear is available for purchase on Danny Ray’s website, in Kindle and paperback on Amazon.com, and at Christianbook.com.
