There is great material in this book but too much of it. I got bogged down and had to force myself forward in reading it. Any marriage can benefit from this book. The book does teach us to be better listeners and communicators and there are tools available for how we handle our disagreements. I thought some of the humor was good but some friends didn't like it. We all have our own sense of humor. Stan Cronin's book 'How to Date Your Wife' is another book that has similar concepts but its half the length and a much easier read. Forgiving and staying the course, or I prefer to call it enduring to the end are principles I agree with and they are contained herein. Everyone can improve their marriage by reading these two books.

This was an awesome gift and I must admit that this book arrived in my hands right on time. Not only was I going through some marriage challenges but a lot of my friends were getting separated and divorced. This book provided me with so much insight on what matters most, protecting my marriage. I was truly enlighted by all the advice and helpful tips. I am passing this book on to friends and family in hopes their marriages can be restored.

This book was a very helpful tool for my husband and I to learn to communicate without accusing. It is a good guide to teach couples how to fight fair, and how to work together to overcome hurdles in their relationships. It requires a lot of work, and the book gives a lot of exercises to practice with your partner, and some are more difficult than others. It can be a real eye-opener to learn exactly how your partner hears you, versus what you actually say.
