I've read a few marriage books before but this book has had such great quotes I've read while browsing the Internet so I've been eyeing it for months. Finally, I decided to buy it. The author has some ideas I don't agree with (ie: establishing consequences when your spouse does/doesn't do something) but 3/4 of her advice I found sound. It reads like a life coach is counseling you and it's straight forward and "tough love" like. The author doesn't unveil much of her personality in the book but the advice seems to come from someone seasoned in faith but lacking in the author-reader bond. However, I can see a lot of my own habits and struggles within her. One thing I don't agree with is 'accepting' that your husband can't love you with the love of God, so don't expect him to otherwise that's idolatry and sinful, and that if he can't communicate with you deeply to just suffer silently and accept that you had too high of an expectation for him.
While the advice is good, for the most part, I find myself struggling to finish the book because there doesn't seem to be a connection to the authors tone and voice.
