Essential Read!,

This review is from: The Intimate Marriage: A Practical Guide To Building a Great Marriage (Mass Market Paperback)
If I had to pick the best book I'd read on the subject of Christian marriage, this would be it. The chapters contain great wisdom, and the questions at the end of each chapter initiated great, in-depth conversations. This is an essential read for engaged couples and newlyweds!

The problem with the 1 star reviews...,
This review is from: The Intimate Marriage: A Practical Guide to Building a Great Marriage (R. C. Sproul Library) (Hardcover)
What most people want in a Christian marriage book is a check list. They want to know the minimum it takes or the exact steps to take in order to get what they want from marriage. That may sound brutal but its the truth. Dr. Sproul sets out an attitude for marriage based on scripture and the work of Jay Adams who is also scriptually minded. Marriage isn't about check-lists and how-to's. In fact, if thats the solution you are looking for you will most likely fail. If you treat you spouse like a list of needs to be met, they will likely feel unloved and unapprechiated. The list becomes the object no the spouse. Srpouls work here, like most of his work, is a good and practical outline to an attitude which will result in the correct thoughts/actions need in a marriage.

A poorly written book...,
This review is from: The Intimate Marriage: A Practical Guide to Building a Great Marriage (R. C. Sproul Library) (Hardcover)
I agree with the previous reviewer, this book is not worth your time. Sproul covers a lot of surface symptoms without addressing the heart of the issue. He frequently discusses the problems that many married couples experience, but fails to address the methods that a couple can use to overcome these challenges. Sproul also makes a lot of unsupported empirical statements about the problems you *will* have in your marriage. Additionally, he uses weird and hard-to-follow examples and analogizes.
I would recommending spending your money on a different book.
