We recently got this book (and workbook)for my brother-in-law and his wife. Their marriage was on the brink of divorce and they asked us to counsel them. I looked around until I found this book and I liked how it got right to the point of the matter and dealt with the issues head-on. In going through it with them, it also helped to strengthen my own marriage in the process. I would definatly recommend this to anyone having struggles in their marriage and are willing to do the work to fix it.

This review is from: Rescue Your Love Life: With 2 FREE His & Hers CDs! (Hardcover)
Regardless of how you view your marriage, all relationships will have their share of ups and downs. This is only natural when dealing with two unique individuals (and personalities) that need to work together as equal partners. This book definitely helps supplement the learning experience of how to best communicate with each other (learning best approach), be fair in compromising, set reasonable boundaries, respect the unique natures of you and your partner, work on solving things together, sharing feelings (without blaming) and complement one another as a "whole" (and not as two halves). It also addresses how to work on personal issues (or habits) that could reflect and harm your marriage.
The approach is Christian, basing it's guidance through a Biblical understanding, yet isn't "preachy" and doesn't beat around the bush. The style is rather casual and laid back, but it's also straight forward and to the point...very well balanced. Neither gender is singled out or favored...both are approached uniquely but also equally as responsable partners. This is best shown and acknowledged through the "his" and "hers" CD's, especially if you listen to both.
I'd highly recommend (if you are planning to use this program), to read the book AND listen to the CD's. The workbook is also good if you need more practice or activity in the program. I purchased both the book (with CD's) and the workbook. Both my husband and I enjoyed the program, but we didn't feel the need for the workbook. This would be great for any couples planning on getting married or are already married.
