Editorial Reviews

Review
Each for the Other is a refreshing and definitive look at Gods instructions to couples on how to live sacrificiallyfor each other and for their families. In a day when the world espouses a self-centered view of love, this book gives us the Bibles standards of love. It is a book that should be read by all couples seeking to know Gods plan for their marriage. -- Dennis Rainey, executive director, Family Life, Campus Crusade for Christ

Each for the Other is a scriptural treatment of the covenant of marriage as God designed it, with in-depth teaching on the meaning of sacrifice. . . . Chapell gracefully addresses the controversial subject of submission and authority and offers meaningful insights on parenting together as a couple. This would make a handy resource for pastors and others engaged in marital counseling, as well as married couples themselves. -- Christian Retailing, Jan. 1999

Each for the Other is one of the few indispensable books on marriage. Because of its biblical precision and practical sensitivity, it is sweetly radical and bracing. Here is the landscape of marriage as it ought to be. This is a book to read, re-read, and savor; a first class achievement. -- R. Kent Hughes, senior pastor, College Church in Wheaton

As I read Each for the Other I had the sense of finding something for which I had long looked. The church is in desperate need of a teaching tool to help Gods people build marriages that reflect the reality of His grace. I think this book is that tool. Bryan combines theological precision with tender practicality and passionately presents the need for and Gods provision of grace in our marriages. This book is a must-read for every married couple and for every person considering marriage -- Susan Hunt, author, director of Women in the Church, Presbyterian Church in America

Cant we both just get along? Chapell responds with a positive yes in this meaty resource that inspires couples to model Gods grace toward each other. Rather than offering cookie-cutter formulas or remedies, Chapell takes readers on an in-depth journey through Scripture to help them understand the oneness God intends for marriage. . . . This is an excellent tool for premarital counseling. Also recommend it to couples who desire to nurture their relationship and make it healthy and complete. -- Sherri Ballard, CBA Marketplace, Jan. 1999

In a culture that often depreciates or functionalizes the marriage relationship, Bryan Chapell calls Christian couples to live beyond themselves in living out the gospel for one another. By reminding a husband, for example, that headship has strings attached, and by encouraging a wife to honor her spouse not because of the goodness he possesses, but because of the grace he needs, this book invites both partners to commit themselves to becoming conduits of Gods sacrificial love for one another and for their children. Each for the Other is balanced, refreshing, practical, and thoroughly biblical. -- Nancy Groom, author, Married without Masks and Heart to Heart about Men

It is one thing to read the Bible or to quote the Bible; it is quite another to hear it and apply it. This book is a marvelous treatment of the biblical method for and teaching on the family that lives coram Deo. -- R. C. Sproul, author, theologian

Wielding his biblical scalpel with careful thoroughness, Bryan Chapell cuts to the heart of selfishness, irresponsibility, and abuse that mar so many supposedly Christian marriages today. More than that, he marks out the path of self-denying love in marriage with a firm hand, and provides discussion questions to ensure that couples who have read the book have grasped its message. This exposition can do nothing but good. -- J. I. Packer, author, theologian --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Marriage requires not just love, but sacrificial love, says Bryan Chapell. In his newly revised and updated book, Each for the Other, he shows married couples how to emulate the unselfish, sacrificial love of Christ. While imparting invaluable instruction grounded in Scripture, Chapell not only helps husbands and wives understand the nature of God's care but also affirms the importance of building a spiritual foundation that binds them together as one. By presenting a biblical model of marriage, Chapell encourages couples to dive into the deeper dimensions of their relationship. The result, he says, is a Christ-centered marriage and a grace-filled family. Refreshing and honest, Each for the Other is a perfect guide to show spouses, engaged couples, and marriage counselors what marriage is meant to be.

4.0 out of 5 stars Deals with the major biblical passages in significant depth., November 9, 1999
By A Customer
This book builds a theology of marriage. A mutually self-sacrificing marriage is seen as a primary means of revealing God's grace to sinful humans.

The author argues that headship and submission do have meaning and validity, even in today's culture. His view is traditional in many ways, but the insights he draws out of the major Pauline passage in Ephesians 5 seem fresh and not at all chauvinistic.

The writing can at times seem a bit stiff and wordy, but this is a minor quibble. The book may still be recommended without hesitation. The depth of insight he brings to the scriptures is quite significant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strongly recommended for anyone in or approaching marriage, May 18, 1999
By nyy23dm@aol.com (Manchester, Connecticut) - See all my reviews
I was given this book a few months before my wedding, and I am very glad it was given to me. The author confronts an issue that is quite controversial these days from a strong, biblical viewpoint. He explains and gives many practical examples of how the marriage relationship is most fulfilling when both partners have their God-given roles in the proper perspective. He describes the principles behind biblical love and submission and makes clear that the two are equally important and necessary for a proper relationship. Since reading this book, I have been challenged and motivated to look at how I love my wife and to find new ways to put her before myself. I strongly suggest it for men or women who are married, will be married, or ever will be married.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Each Other, December 21, 2003
By C. Poston "princessoftheking" (Columbia, MO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I just recently borrowed this one from a friend. Excellent book! I wish Chapell came out with this book earlier! I agree with the other reviews that he does a great job of clearing the air on the topic of submission and respect for women. Also he makes an excellent point on both spouses allowing each other to use their gifts to have a godly and "sucessful" marriage. It was good to see that he did have the same "12 step" approach that most marriage books have.
Also good is his chapters on authority of the government and parental authority.
This would be a great book for any couple, newly weds (even engaged) to older couples.
