If you view your marriage as shackles, this book is for you. by G. Galef  1 Stars
October 26, 2009
We embarked on this book in a small group of 20-and-30-something married couples with kids. We are all Christians and have strong marriages. We were looking for a book to further explore the two together and help us grow in each path. This isn't the book to do that.
Thomas seems stuck on marriage being a chore, and focusing in on how you have to pull up those bootstraps, and love the unlovable - including your spouse. For those in a very bad place, this book probably offers some great advice to "keep on keeping on" and get through the hurdles, love your spouse, make it work, yadda yadda yadda. However, to most of us in our group, we found it to be written from only the perspective of a horrible marriage in which people are not treating each other well.
We dropped the book after several chapters. Yes, we see the small value the book has to offer, and yes, I'll bet if you read the whole thing, you can find some lovely snippets of insight. Sorry, not interested in investing the time to read through the rest of the this. I'd rather find an uplifting book, and focus on that. What a painful several weeks this has been digesting this writing. Good riddance!!

Good, Honest Look at Marriage by Stacy Marshal (AZ)  5 Stars
October 05, 2009
This book is a great aid to any Christian who is planning to get married, or who is even considering the idea. It looks at many aspects of marriage, and proves to us that marriage is not just a promise for a while, but it's a spiritual promise to God as well, which brings with it many more responsibilities and learning experiences. I would highly recommend this book - it is meaningful, well written, and a great aid in learning.

Great Book by A. Shields (Marietta, GA) 5 Stars
September 08, 2009
This is one of the books that my wife and I have used for an read together before we go to bed book. This is not a standard Christian marriage book. In fact, this is as unique a Christian marriage book as I have read. There are some parts I have issues with, but the over-riding theme is right on base. Marriage is important, not only to the marriage, but to our own spiritual development. So it talks about how we are intentional about including our spiritual development as part of our marriage. I think we need to think about deeper things like this in our churches. I am all for "Five Love Languages" and other standard Christian marriage books. They are good and helpful. But this one should be read by most everyone.

help my marriage by L. Hyde (Renton, WA USA)  4 Stars
August 30, 2009
This is a good book. It has helped me in my marriage and learn what truly makes a marriage successful. It's a little hard to read, I took this course at my church, which helped me follow along. I'd recommend any couple take this course and read this book, it's very practical and helpful.

| Sacred Sex: A Spiritual Celebration of Oneness in Marriage
by Tim Alan Gardner (Author), Scott M. Stanley (Foreword)
For years, Christians have been told that sex is God's creation, designed by him as a gift to husbands and wives. Yet few couples actually experience sex as a spiritual, God-ordained experience. Rather than admit their lack of fulfillment, many couples hide their disappointment and confusion, while others attempt to solve the problem through better sexual technique.
Unfortunately, all the advice on improved technique fails to explain the one thing that makes sense of it all. Despite...
