5.0 out of 5 stars out of the classroom, March 15, 2006

I have been watching, listening to, and reading information about marriage for many years. Never before have I gotten so lost in a marriage book that I hated to put it down. In DNA for Couples the lost art of story-telling is found. As you read about the lives of these other couples, you will find yourself understanding your own relationship better. It feels like the authors have taken the subject of marriage out of the classroom and put it into the living room where it belongs. Just when I thought every marriage book was going to be a revamping of all the others, I waded into this one and realized that there are new ideas and better ways to present them. What a breath of fresh air. You've gotta give this one a try. It is amazing!

I read "The DNA of Relationships" by Dr. Gary Smalley. The information was so exciting that I have incorporated into my conversational repoire with my family, friends, and work colleagues. "The DNA of Relationships for Couples" by Dr. Greg Smalley and Dr. Robert Paul is no less intriguing. Whether married or single, I would place both of these books on a "must read" basis. I have enjoyed a satisfying marriage for 25 years, but I now understand the delicate relational balance needed for a mutually blessed marriage for both partners.

This review is from: The DNA of Relationships for Couples (Smalley Franchise Products) (Paperback)

I've read many, many marriage books, but none has compared to the depth, wisdom, hope and authenticity of this book. Because of the expertly woven stories, I identified with each couple's struggles. I cheered when they realized where they'd gotten off track and I cringed as I saw myself in their desperation. And through it all, I learned amazing truths about myself, my God and my marriage.

Everywhere I go, I hear about the impact of this book and the principles within. If you're struggling in your marriage, longing to see relational health, I highly recommend picking up a copy of this book. Dr. Bob Paul and Dr. Greg Smalley's proven and surprising insight will, if you let it, revolutionize the way you interact with and love your spouse.
