Review # 1 was written on 2014-05-28 00:00:00 Edward Kelly I got this recommendation from a friend together with another title (to be reviewed at a later date). All I can say is that relations can be complicated like rocket science. I like the style in that Bill and Lynne are constantly quoting from their life experiences….and that can be daunting. But those are the best examples. The key principle is not to lose sight of the big picture for the side shows that will pop up somewhere down the line. It is not secret that we cannot be compatible…but you have to work compatibility. Like the old adage goes….you cannot hug a porcupine…. Critical is to evaluate that first you are friends. Bill and Lynne categorize friends into 3 categories…those that drain…those that are neural and finally those that replenish. This with a whole bunch of differences that have to be worked like temperaments, preferences, family background, communication, language of love among others. How important to realize that boundaries need to be well understood. An intrusion into a boundary is cause for chaos. A couple needs to talk…talk talk…… and talk some more. Knee jerk reactions are a no no….also having to pile up emotion gnawing at your soul on the inside is a no no.. I wish people could hire communication experts for relationships. Dig into books….. so much knowledge and wisdom lies there….from people who have had past experience. That said, I thing if we forget all I just said and stated that God be at the centre…then the relation will just flow. God demonstrated his love for us by sending his own son. If a man could lay down his own life for people relishing in darkness…. How much more can men do reading from that example to their life partners? The icing on the cake was the discussion at the end of the book. Talk and talk is the mantra…talk to friends, talk to God, talk to your partner and just talk…….. oh well to counselors as well... Good read!

Review # 2 was written on 2015-07-12 00:00:00 Roberto Thegenus This is a unique and unusual Christian marriage book. It's a very personal look at the Hybels' marriage, with far more disclosure and transparency than you usually get from a book like this; their marriage has been a rocky one with all sorts of struggles that resulted from conflicting personalities and the pressures of a demanding ministry. As a result, their book does not seek to teach about all aspects of marriage, but about specific lessons that they had to learn over the years, hurdles they have surpassed, and can now teach about from a position of hard-earned experience. The first section of the book focuses on courtship, and I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is in a serious relationship and considering marriage, or even anyone who hopes to get married one day and wants wise counsel about how to build a good connection and avoid getting committed to someone who may be totally wrong for them. The rest of the book is about dealing with the inevitable problems that will come in marriage, and how to resolve those conflicts in a healthy, Godly way. Again, this is a great book for people who are going through difficulties in their marriage, or just want to learn about how to handle issues when they arise. A strong marriage always takes a lot of work, and the Hybels have opened up about much of the work they've had to do, as well as many of their mistakes along the way. As a member of Willow Creek Community Church, I appreciate being able to learn about the life of my pastor in more detail, and to know that even being a great church leader does not exclude a person from the refining fire of marriage.
