5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for structure is your relationship?, September 25, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Relationships That Work: (And Those That Don't) (Paperback)
I was very impressed with this book. If you are in a relationship, just got out of one, or looking for ways to make your future relationship better than your last, this book is a great read. If you are in a seriuos relationship, this book is great to go over with your mate, to make sure the both of you right right for eachother. This book is also great because you can also see your flaws, so you can pray to God and work on them. If you want to have a healthy, balanced relationship, read this book!!!

This review is from: Relationships That Work: (And Those That Don't) (Paperback)
This book helped me so much in reference to handling love relationships and relationship period. The biblical background to substantiate the comments are second to none. I will always recommend this book to singles groups, friends and family alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, November 16, 2006
This review is from: Relationships That Work: (And Those That Don't) (Paperback)
I just picked up this book to browse through it. I have been married for 25 years and I have children 18 and 21. I was interested in this book for them. I was very impressed with the content and how practical it is. In particular, he has one of the best descriptions of the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships..."It's not a good sign"...things that occur in relationships that are missed unless you know to look for them (we see what we know to see). I also like his description of infatuation vs. love. "Infatuation could lead you to do things you might regret...Love won't".

Highly recommended.
