This is a great book from a great series of books. I highly suggest it to all couples. Regardless of whether you have a fairy tale marriage or your marriage is on the rocks, this study meets everyone right where they are and gives practical advice to improve oneness in marriage. I cannot say enough good things about this book or the Homebuilders series! You must experience it and its life-changing lessons for yourself. My husband and I have never been happier or more on the same page than after completing these exercises. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

This review is from: Improving Communication in Your Marriage (Homebuilders Couples) (Paperback)

My husband and I were Homebuilder group leaders for several years. We met with a number of couples, plus attended a group ourselves that was led by one of the elders and his wife. The information in each book was very valuable and very positive. I believe that it helped to strengthen our marriage, and we're at 28 years and counting.
