By 
Although my wife and I have just started reading this book it has already proved to be very insightful and extremely helpful in rebuilding a troubled relationship. I would definitely recommend this book for every couple to read, whether your newlyweds or been married for 40 years this book will help bring you closer to your spouse. For those marriages in crisis, please take the time to read this book together with your spouse it may just be the thing that can save your relationship.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid advice, but nothing new, August 17, 2004
By 
Mark Youngkin (Pickerington, Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dennis and Barbara Rainey's book on how to avoid isolation in marriage is entertaining, and Scripturally based. That alone makes it better than most books written for the Christian market. But it's another version of the same marital advice you can find in a host of other books. It's not a bad place to start for new Christians or newlyweds. But if you have made a point of reading and attending conferences to keep your marriage strong, you'll find nothing groundbreaking here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sound, Solid Advice, July 22, 2005
By 
This volume is sound, solid advice for married couples. While most of the tips and insights here offer few ideas that are new to books on Christian marriage, the way in which they are arranged is refreshingly original. The authors are right on target when they claim that the greatest enemy facing marriages today is isolation. Other resources touch upon this danger, but this work focuses upon it. It's not a great book, but it's very good.
