Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK? Marriage takes more than love. It sounds straightforward and simple. But what more exactly do you need? In Marriage Takes More Than Love, Jack and Carole Mayhall share a multitude of things they’ve found that are vital to a good marriage-a solid foundation in God, open and honest communication, a clear definition of roles and responsibilities, exciting sex, and more. The difference between smooth sailing and shipwrecks in marriage lies in what couples do about rough weather. All marriages have strengths and weaknesses. All marriages are either dynamic or deteriorating. The husband-wife combo must either progress or perish. A strong marriage is built by making good choices. In a his-and-hers style, the Mayhalls show readers how to make the kind of choices in marriage that look out for the best interests of all three parties involved-you, your spouse, and God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!, June 13, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Marriage Takes More Than Love (Paperback)
I read this book before I got married. This is one of the best marriage book that I have ever read (And I read a lot of them :)). Mostly because my husband's character and personality is similar to Mr. Mayhall (discipline, perfectionist, detail oriented, introvert) while mine is similar to Mrs Mayhall (people oriented, flexible, and unorganized). This book has helped us to celebrate our differences; appreciate, respect, complement, and learn from each other.

5.0 out of 5 stars MEN ARE NOT LIKE WOMEN!!!!!!!!!, July 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Marriage Takes More Than Love (Paperback)
I WAS STRUCK BY THE WAY WE ARE DESCRIBED: MEN AS MICROWAVES AND WOMEN AS OVENS. PRETTY MUCH TO THE POINT. HELP ME TO NOT PUSH MY MAN INTO BEING WHAT HE IS NOT. WISH MORE MEN WOULD READ IT SO THEY COULD UNDERSTAND THAT WE WOMEN WORK DIFFERENTLY AND THAT IT IS OKAY AND VERY NORMAL NOT TO BE THE SAME. GOD HAS CREATED US SO WONDERFULLY- WE SHOULD BE COMMITTED TO ENJOYING THOSE DIFFERENCES. JACK AND CAROLE GO A LONG WAY TOWARD HELPING US SEE THESE AND OTHER TRUTHS.

This review is from: Marriage Takes More Than Love (Paperback)
This is a really great book for couples in any stage of marriage. Portions are written from both Carol and Jack's perspective which allows you to understand a situation from both sides of an argument. My husband and I read this for marriage counseling classes before we were married. Both of us benifitted from the information and advice in this book that we go back to time and time again. And have for 12 years!
