Rating:  Summary: A real eye-opener Review: Despite an earlier review, there's nothing even vaguely pornographic in the book that I could see. Instead, the Huffs provide a good deal of thought-provoking prose, surrounding their list of sixteen areas in which they think a couple *MUST* agree for a marriage to be successful. I don't know for sure if every one is a show stopper, but if you're missing on more than a few...Most books about the marital arts take the premise that bad communication is what makes marriages fail - that if you can communicate better, and understand the mars/venus stuff, you can fix any marriage. The Huffs believe that even with perfect communication, even the most caring couple will have a marriage that is at best mediocre if they're mismatched on key issues... that marriage needn't be hard, *if* its with the right person. This is a wonderful breath of fresh air for anyone who's been struggling for years, trying to figure out what they're doing wrong. Maybe it isn't you.Read, enjoy, learn.
Rating:  Summary: This is a soft core pornography with common sense advice. Review: The guidance given in this book is very simplistic advice that any person with a modicum of intelligence and common sense could derive for him or herself. Also, the details of the authors' sex life are so explicit that I felt I was reading a soft core pornographic novel rather than serious advisory book. Due to the book's graphic nature, I had a difficult time respecting the advice presented. Finally, I do not feel that I gained any relationship knowledge from this book that I did not already possess.
