Sweethearts for a Lifetime: Making the Most of Your Marriage Book

A great book on marriage, especially for group discussion.

Strengths:
- The questions for personal review (as well as review of your marriage with your spouse) are in-depth, helpful, and initiate good conversation.
- The chapters are short and manageable, making for easy assignment in group study.
- The book is filled with helpful practical wisdom for couples.

Weaknesses:
- The organization of the book feels haphazard at time, and leans heavily on Mack's other books, which can be confusing.
- The chapters can (as noted above) be so short as to be weakly argued or explained. Sometimes a paragraph is spend on a topic that would be helped by much more conversation or time.

This book's strength is the first third, which focuses on the marriage as a unit. Most likely, the second two thirds, focusing on the husband and wife individually, are probably better replaced by The Excellent Wife and The Exemplary Husband, which are both fuller, more in-depth treatments of those subjects.
