Summary: THIS BOOK HELPED ME
Review: I bought this book to figure out a way to straighten out a relationship with a very difficult person that I knew. Dr Dobson gives good advice on maintaining your self-respect through difficult times.Being a good Christian doesn't mean becoming a doormat for manipulative people. Although many examples in the book deal with adulterous spouses (not what I was dealing with), the principles can be applied to any aspect of our life and relationships. This book is pure Gold.

Summary: Great book. Praise God for James Dobson
Review: I can relate to most of the things Mr. Dobson writes. However it is a shame we always feel that we have to play games through out our marrige. Also it is a shame that most men that need to read the book...DON'T. I recomend this book to everyone.

Summary: Great look at tough love
Review: I have just read this book and can honestly say it is one of the few that points out the mistakes that people make in trying to save a relationship once their partner has cheated on them. I was caught in the trap that was described in this book. I reccommend this book to anyone who feels they are ready to do something about their relationship. Any one seeking Christian help through infidelity will appreciate this book.

Summary: This book confused me
Review: I think that this book and philosophy would work for some people, but not for me. I especially did not like what he said at the end of the book. He encouraged people to take back their cheating spouses, even if they can't trust them again. And forgive me if I am wrong, but isn't taking back someone who is mistreating you, even if that person changes, showing that you don't have self-respect?

Summary: Dr. Dobson really hit home with this book.
Review: I was given a suggestion to read this book by my boss. I started to read it and became so engrossed that I read the first five chapters immediately. I was amazed at how much I could see my family and self in this book. I immediately began to use the principals in the book and found them to work. I would reccomend this book to anyone experiencing marital problems.

Summary: Help for hurting people and those who support them
Review: If I were only allowed to have one book to get me through my days and help me get those whom I love through the hard road that is Life today. His advice is practical and works every time
Rating: 
Summary: Awful, Awful, Awful
Review: If your husband or wife just left and you are in the middle of the confusion and despair of that situation DO NOT follow the suggestions in this book! Trust me, go to the Lord in prayer, seeking only Him for your answers, He is absolutely faithful. Don't talk to your neighbors, friends, relatives, counselors or anyone until you talk to Jesus. He is your only hope and this book's advise is definitely not recommended if you want your spouse back!!
I would never even sell this book for fear of the distruction it can cause. It belongs in the dumpster, after being shreaded.
Also, I gave it 1 star because 0 was not given as an option!

Summary: Un jeu d'esprit qui s'appelle la guerre
Review: James Dobson in this work, examines the social structure of the family as a laboratory for violence- a clear continuation of Laing's dictum that much of what passes for love in families is violence. Dobson, never one to say, "The only way to disarm is to disarm," ups the ante in this barn-burner, by going Laing one better. Not only must love be violent, it must be tough - the tougher the better. Dobson, who believes, as Stalin did, that gratitude is a dog's disease, clearly illustrates the foibles of the *untermenschen*, and profits from them hansdomly in the process.

Summary: One book that every couple should read
Review: James Dobson is a genious when it comes to understanding relationships and bucking polically correct conventional wisdom. This book is full of suggestions and points that most people will probably not want to hear but need to hear. That is why love must be tough. The examples used in this book cover a wide variety of situations. Dr. Dobson give the perfect suggestion for each.
