5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Couples, January 6, 2001

By	B. Billerbeck "krisbeck" (Silicon Valley, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The 5 Love Needs of Men and Women (Hardcover)

After nine years of marriage and four kids, I really thought I had it all together. Reading this book showed me that my own issues can really contribute to my husband's issues. I think this is an awesome book if you're ready and willing to take responsibility for YOUR issues in a marriage -- and past the point of blaming your spouse. An easy read with some really thought-provoking topics. A great springboard for conversation, and a deeper relationship.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, hope after 18 years, June 13, 2001

By A Customer

After spending at least 15 years trying to convince my husband that he wasn't communicating with me, I checked this book out of the library. After he read the chapter on emotional intimacy--the only need on the women's list of needs that wasn't even on the men's list--a light bulb went off! Our relationship has improved dramatically already--and it's only been a week! Now, he is reading the whole book (as am I).

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book on marriage relationships- A keeper!, May 16, 2005

By	R. Horn "raddinc" (Aurora, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I reeeeally enjoyed this book. Its straightforward talk made it easy to read. Being a women, I read the parts to women, and it really provided some insight to what men expect in the relationship, and how men view themselves. It seems like it is the christian version of Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus. Each chapter covers areas where I or I have had friend stumble in their relationship with their spouse. The chapter that stayed with me the most is about sex and intimacy. Also the bulleted points really provided practical information to help apply the information provided. More important, the topics were discussed from a christian prespective without an overbearing religious tone. I suggested it to any couple to to read or any single person who is desiring marriage. Also I would suggest it to a divorce person as well.
