Review # 1 was written on 2017-02-16 00:00:00 John Madame My lifelong study of godly marriages continues. :) This is not a bad book, but it is heavier on the psychology and self-care side of the spectrum than I prefer. A good book to skim for communication tools while relying on more Bible-centric books to build a foundation for biblical marriage. For this, I always always always recommend Sacred Marriage and Cherish by Gary Thomas.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-05-08 00:00:00 Jason Navy Since I'm getting married, my sister-in-law recommended the Focus on the Family podcast that featured the authors. I thought they seemed knowledgeable, so I decided to read their book. It was just ok. I wanted to like it a lot, so that anyone could read it when planning their marriages, but it just seemed to narrow in its target and mindset. I felt like this was a book written by Christians for Christians, specifically. I will admit that I kind of feel that way about FotF in general. They give good advice, as long as you already agree with everything they are saying. Greg and Erin did make some good points, but I kind of found them hard to relate to - maybe b/c they got married a whole lot younger than I am. Their advice felt like it was either for young 20-somethings or "old" 50-somethings. Guess what guys...a lot of folks get married in their thirties (gasp!). I liked the idea behind this book - your marriage is definitely more important than your wedding, but I just struggled with the book itself. :(
