Incompatibility: Still Grounds for a Great Marriage [Paperback]

Chuck Snyder (Author), Barb Snyder (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 1999

Do women really spend more time in the bathroom? Are men truly more gifted when it comes to handling the remote control? Will women ever understand the intense concentration demanded by Monday Night Football? Chuck and Barb Snyder (who reveal that their only area of compatibility is having the same kids and grandkids) tackle these and other questions in Incompatibility: (Still) Grounds for a Great Marriage, an entertaining, insightful, and sensible primer on marriage for Christian couples. Ten years after their popular original book, they've teamed up again to present new material and elaborate on their original themes. Readers will learn that differences between couples are actually part of God's plan for marriage and should be viewed as assets, not liabilities.

If your marriage is on the rocks, you must buy this book. I bought two of them. One for myself and one for my wife.

3.0 out of 5 stars An "accessible" marriage book, April 9, 2004

This review is from: Incompatibility: Still Grounds for a Great Marriage (Paperback)

I like how this book puts the (sometimes) complex man-woman relationship into a language that most can understand. I will say that it's written with a slant toward the "men are oafs by nature" mentality. But nowadays, it seems that this is the way most men in our culture are! Chuck Snyder hits on some strange truths that plague male-female relationships, but just when you're expecting a solution to these dilemmas, the chapter ends without one. I think his main goal was to help people understand that men and women think and relate differently, and he's done that.

It's a good book for husbands who refuse to get any help at all with their failing marriage. I hope readers understand that not all men are as "oafish" as portrayed by the author, and that not all women are as unbending as portrayed by his wife. :)

This review is from: Incompatibility: Still Grounds for a Great Marriage (Paperback)

I never laughed so hard as when I read this book, yet it was full of great information! I laughed so much that my husband keep asking what I was reading, and then when I finished it he actually picked it up to read without any prompting from me, which is the only time he ever did that.

We both learned a lot about why we both respond to issues and each other the way we do. I recommend this book to other couples, whether newly weds trying to avoid the pitfalls of relationship or established marriages where you feel at odds all the time. It is a very insightful read, and can really help a couple relate better in their daily life.
