I must say, this is not just a book for newlyweds! Well, it depends on your definition of "newlywed"! This is for couples (married or not), "new" - 6 years and under.

I have been married for almost 4 years, and this book has really opened my eyes. It teaches you what you are capable of. I believe that if people would read this book as newlyweds, there would be less early divorce. People shouldn't give up so easy, and this book encourages you to put more effort into your lifelong commitment.

I recommend reading a chapter a day. Each chapter is only 2-3 small pages, and takes just a couple of minutes. Reading a chapter a day encourages you to reflect on that one subject for that day. There are only like 24 chapters, so you'll be finished with this book in a months time. I feel that if I would have read the whole book in one setting, some of the information and power or the message, would have been lost.

If you get this book for under a dollar or two, maybe you won't feel ripped off. I paid full price. Most of the ideas are hints and things you probably do everyday. Marriage is a gift and I think a book telling newleyweds this stuff kinda makes a joke out of it. I did like the original book that started this series, all these other books seem to be written for greed, when the original was written out of love.

the counsel in this book is not fully comprehensive of a marriage relationship. this is good because any book which tries to be messes up and becomes forgettable. it is directed in its intent to prevent and stop discord from as it says "small stuff" which inevitably comes in most marriages. its advice is to the point, good and memorable.

I purchased this as a gift for a friend of mine that is getting married in a few months. She loves it!
