Review # 1 was written on 2020-08-11 00:00:00 Lou Miller I read this book because I was looking for a Christian marriage book less heavily focused on roles (I find those of the Love and Respect ilk to be inaccurate, frustrating, and sometimes actually harmful). In that respect, I liked this book better than other ones I've read in the past. Otherwise, though, it was a little...meh for me. It probably would be better as a springboard for discussion with your spouse if you had the workbooks they refer to frequently in this book. Without the workbooks, it seemed ok but not earth shattering to me personally. It also really assumes that both partners are reasonable people who want to work on their marriage, so a lot of the advice will not work for someone in an abusive marriage or with a partner who refuses to talk or engage. I find it rather disheartening that in the entire book, they haven't talked about abuse at all. Even the appendix, on big problems, only covered addiction, infidelity, infertility, and loss. I really, really wished they had covered abuse because many books don't, and trying to apply some of this advice in an abusive marriage (think positively! misery is a choice!) would just make things worse. I keep looking for a marriage book that I really love and would recommend to others but haven't found one yet. This one is, to me, better than ones like Love and Respect but still not great. Probably better with the workbooks.
