From AudioFile

In the no-rules society we have today, Jenkins says, a good marriage is a fragile thing, designed to prevent adultery. He gives us an extraordinary combination of Christian dogma and good advice on making peace with our urges and not creating temptations to stray. The author's narration is flat as can be, but the wisdom he dispenses has a grandfatherly tone and logic that more than compensate for the delivery. The program appears to be aimed at people who may have challenges in this area of their lives or don't know that too much time spent with anyone more interesting than their spouse can lead to problems. Advice without moralizing. Amen. T.W. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Loving Your Marriage Enough to Protect It (Paperback)

Whether you are married or single, Jerry Jenkins has written a book that is easy to read, yet profoundly thought-provoking. As a recently married man who wishes to uphold his marriage in the highest priority (next to God of course), this book has caused me to re-evaluate every situation I may find myself in with a member of the opposite sex. My wife and I truly appreciate the wisdom and insights that were shared in this book.

This review is from: Loving Your Marriage Enough to Protect It (Paperback)

My husband and I read much of this book before we were even married. It strengthened our dating relationship immensely and therefore strengthened our marriage. This book helps you realize that the seemingly insignificant things you do can be potentially dangerous to your marriage if you are not careful. By examples it shows how it can be very easy to find yourself drifting away from your spouse while being drawn to someone else that seems to meet your needs better than your spouse does. This book helps you see the error of this way of thinking and gives you valuable suggestions to protect your marriage. This book used to be called Hedges and that is still what we call it because that is the perfect image to have of your marriage! Protect your marriage and it will last forever... be aware of the potential pitfalls and the chances of falling into them are slim! Buy this book TODAY! It is invaluable!!!!

This review is from: Loving Your Marriage Enough to Protect It (Paperback)

My wife and I do premarital and marriage counseling and we require all our couples to read this book. We have found it personally and professionally a great help for couples to realize the dangers we face in our society today. It has great guidelines for steps people can take that will help them protect themselves from falling to temptations they will face in today's world. Please, read this book and pass it on. I would recomment it for your children (adult) also.
