Summary: Wonderful book on marriage!
Review: I've read a lot of books on marriage and I have to say that this is the best! I really appreciate the relevance of this book to married life. It helps you realize that you have no control of other people (namely your spouse) but you do have a say in who has control over you ... and this should be the Holy Spirit. Tim Lahaye shows you how you can live a Spirit filled life and deals with real struggles like fear and anger ... letting emotions control you and hinder the Spirit's work in your life.
A lot of times in dealing with marriage issues we focus on dealing with the issues of our spouse ... Tim shows how we need to deal with ourselves and give our marriages and our spouses to the Lord.
I also appreciate the way he incorporates the personality types in this book. It is important to realize that we all were wonderfully designed by God DIFFERENTLY.
In addition to this book I would highly recommend reading The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. I thought these two books work wonderfully together in teaching about our differences, as well as how to meet our mate's needs, be obedient to God in marriage, and have a more fulfilling marriage relationship.
