Preparing for Marriage God's Way

Rating:
Summary: Solid Christian marriage preparation
Review: An excellent marriage text for the committed evangelical Christian couple. It has extensive lists of scripture and will take motivation and committment to finish. Its perspective is apparent from the connection with Dr. John MacArthur's church and is solid Biblical information.

Summary: On the cutting edge of 12th century thinking.
Review: This book is awful. It portrays women as people who can't make their own decisions, can't work outside of the home, can't handle finances, etc. This attitude toward women is so ignorant, and often results in psychological (if not physical) abuse. For example, one suggestion to a husband is to discuss plans with your wife before you make them, and to give her the reasons for making the decisions you made. What, a woman can't make decisions, too? Thanking her for her attempts to please you. As if all we can do is attempt, but never succeed. My personal favorite, the book suggests that the wife watch football with her husband, and try to really manifest an interest. Hey, where does it tell the husband to go to the wife's quilting club, and to really try to like it? Ladies, if you have any self respect (and men, if you have any respect for women) STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK!

Rating:
Summary: Good preparation tool, but very long and boring
Review: This book seems good to those providing counseling, but is a book that the couple being counseled will not enjoy. Many of the exercises are repetitive and lengthily; some don't even make sense. Don't get this book unless your counselor tells you to, it would be hard for a couple to motivate themselves to finish this book on their own.

Rating:
Summary: A sound book to guide couples in deciding for marriage.
Review: This book will help couples focus on the important things that make a marriage work long-term. It is best used with someone helping them discuss the various aspects of marriage. My wife and I do pre-marital counseling and have found to to be a great help to our couples.
