One of the best books on marriage I have read. It has benefited me professionally as a clinician and personally. Must read for those who want to grow in their marriage.

This is a wonderfully helpful book for Christians. I have read a lot of marriage books and heard a lot of marriage sermons, but this trumps them all. A must read.

I had the priviledge of attending a class taught by Anne Trip on the entitled book. I had never heard a marriage book taught in the way she writes. It is straight from Christ how we are to treat each other. This should be a pre-requisite to marriage. I reading this book for the 2nd time, but I know i will be reading it again and again to re-enforce and strenghthen my own marriage. This is truly a wonderful book and the best book on marriage out there.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I believe this book to be the best book on Christian marriage. So many books are written on marriage, but this book is the answer to healing in a marriage. The book takes you through 4 couples that are being counseled and shows you the journey they took through marriage counseling. It also offers exercises and other supplements that help you determine the state of your own marriage and how you can be complete in life by following the truths in this book. It is a must have for all marriages; ones that are hurting as well as those that just need some enrichment.

Over the 37 years we have been married, we have read a LOT of books on marriage and attended a lot of conferences.........but this book is clearly the best one we have ever read! So many of the other books we had read seemed to be about about trying harder and changing behaviors, which only left us increasingly frustrated that we couldn't get it right. In this book, however, Anne leads her readers on a journey of understanding that it is only dependency on the indwelling life of Christ which will lead to the intimacy and vitality that God intends for every marriage. Our marriage has been transformed!

If your marriage needs help(and whose doesn't), this book can be used alone or in conjunction with counseling. This book would also be an excellent study used in a small group or Sunday School class. It is easy to follow and puts the emphasis on all the right issues. Nobody would feel intimated reading this book.
