From AudioFile

After writing several other books based on Christian principles, these two authors apply their sensibilities to preserving difficult marriages. Their sincerity and vocal spontaneity overcome the wordiness of this text to present a well-organized overview of what individuals need to feel fulfilled in their marriages. In spite of the obligatory Bible citations, the material has common-sense clarity and no obvious religious dogmatism or piety (compared to many other relationship audios with Christian foundations). The friendly authors emphasize choice, authenticity, respect, and personal responsibility as being most influential in the climate of a marriage. Picking up momentum as it progresses, the program is an impressive collection of wisdom that many married couples will appreciate.

This review is from: Rescue Your Love Life: Changing Those Dumb Attitudes & Behaviors That Will Sink Your Marriage [UNABRIDGED] (Audio CD)

No matter how long you've been in a relationship, or even if you haven't, this book helps shed light on the areas in our lives we all need work on. For me in particular it helped me focus not on my partner/spouse so much as fixing myself. I appreciate the tenderness and grace these authors extend which is very necessary to bring the reader to a place of really seeing ourselves for who we are and how we can create some of the messes we get into in relationships. Working on ourselves helps us grow and is necessary, even if the other person in the relationship isn't willing to participate or take responsibility.
