Summary: Exceedingly Disappointed
Review: My husband bought this book and its companion, If He Only Knew, since we need to work on strengthening our marriange. I was glad that he took the initiative and was eager to read the book, but I found myself a bit disappointed by the content. While the basic concepts seem good, I found the examples and suggestions to be rather outdated. It was originally published in 1979, and, despite some revisions, seems to belong to a different time -- that of 25 years ago. The book seemed to lean too much toward the idea of the wife being submissive to her husband, and encourages her to look nice and greet him with a smile when he comes home from work, which sounds very much like the Home Economics textbooks from the 1950s. I feel that the author's suggestions do not really speak to me in today's world.

Summary: Has interesting ideas, but focused on 50's life style.
Review: The book has some interesting (biblically based) insights on how to improve your marriage that are not totally without merit. As a Full-time employee, wife, and mother I found some of the ideas a bit too old fashioned. It seemed like the author was basing his book on the fact that most women are stay at home wives and mothers. I couldn't relate to much of what it had to offer because of that.

Summary: Ordering a Replacement Copy
Review: When I first read the book, before my husband and I were even married, it helped our relationship a great deal (by helping me change my outlook on several areas of our relationship). We have been married almost three years now and everything is great! I find myself remembering parts of the book from time to time and wishing I could read it again.I would recommend this book to anyone, whether your marriage is great or having problems.
