5.0 out of 5 stars Best Marriage Book I've Read, September 6, 2005

By	K. Thomas - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Love Life for Every Married Couple: How to Fall in Love, Stay in Love, Rekindle Your Love (Paperback)

This book definitely changed my marriage and may have saved it. Over the years we had lost much of the intimacy in our relationship and I didn't even realize it until my wife basically told me she didn't love me any more. I never considered that this was even possible, but it happenned to me.

I have read a number of marriage books since this occurred. All were highly reviewed. All were good; this was the best. It is a complete guide to marriage. It is definitely a Christian guide but it isn't preachy.

This is not a book of exercises for couples in a troubled marriage. It is much more. Those other books were valuable too, but this provides a frame of reference that even makes those other books better.

I would highly recommend it to any married couple or anyone desiring to get married. It is useful for all marriages whether healthy or troubled. It opened my eyes to what a truly intimate relationship can be like. We didn't have one before but with the help of this book, we do now. We are still working through our issues, but I am amazed at the positive changes. Although I realized that I had to make more changes than she did, it was the best thing I ever did.

I would say that it definitely written more for Christians, but non-christians would get just as much out of it so long as they aren't turned off by Christian principles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Life for Every Married Couple, January 21, 2000

By	robert griffis (phoenix, arizona) - See all my reviews

This book is hope! Approaching his book in an easy to follow and practical way as well as biblically sound, Dr. Wheat has given us a book that acknowledges the fact that possibly only one partner in the marriage is concerned about making the marriage work, yet if the one partner is willing to 'hang in there' and work, the marriage can be saved. As a skeptic of counseling books in general, I highly recommend this book as the best I've ever read

This review is from: Love Life for Every Married Couple: How to Fall in Love, Stay in Love, Rekindle Your Love (Paperback)

This book can help you focus on being a better spouse regardless of how bad things have been in the past. It really helps you concentrate on the reasons that you got married... I wish every married couple would read and practice the ideas in this book!
