Summary: Great book to help improve communication
Review: I believe this book really helped me to better understand how to communicate with my husband. It really made me think about how I talked with him and how that affected our relationship. I thought it could be better however in how it was presented. Could be a little dry at times. Beneficial to any relationship.

Summary: kick in the head
Review: This is a great book, I read it over every so often just for a reality check, it has great examples, quotes, stories and wonderful Christian principals. It really makes you think about how to relate better to your mate, and understand why we do the things we do sometimes. It help me see what I should be doing and what to expect. I think so many books like this tell you things I would hope we should know, but fail to practice. I really wish husbands and wifes would read this book together, they maybe surprised to find out this is not like any other book off the shelf and they would have nothing to lose only something to gain in their relationship. Sometimes we just need a kick in the head sometimes. We can seek out friends for advice,counselors, but we should first be seeking God, He will help us better than anyone could possibly, but God does use books and people and I believe He can use this book to help us. I hope you will get this book you won't be dissappointed.

Summary: May have saved our marriage...
Review: When I bought this book for my husband and I we had been married for about 1 1/2 years. "Things" were really ruff and we were having a hard time getting along and communicating effectively. We new for sure we loved eachother and we were serious about the commitment we made to eachother and to God; so I went in search of a resource. I bought this book; booked a suite at a romantic hotel in Washington DC; and we spent a whole weekend reading the book, rediscovering eachother and learning how to comminicate and love eachother for a life time. We have and will go through "things"; but now with prayer and the fundamental lessons we took from this book - we get through them and they are far and few between. I recommend this book to every engaged couple I know; and married couples having "issues" :)
