This books is a must for anyone who has wrapped their loves solely around their children and has forgotten how to be a loving partner. I related to so many things in this book! For instance, One of the Chapters titles is (see if this doesnt sound like you)-Preparing for Change-you might be a great parent, lousy lover if you feel like a cook,maid, or shuttle and you run your home like a hotel! The interesting part of this is it is written in daily life terms. At the end of each chapter you are given ideas/assignments that you can do with your spouse to help strenghten your relationship. No one likes being in a rut of any kind, but this is so common that I think is a shame. I believe that a home should be well balanced, even though it is very hard to do. I like this book for how it is written and the guidance to lead you in the right direction. It also reminds us that our marriage is a joining of two people under God, who wants us to be happy. This a MUST BUY for anyone looking to strenghten their marriage.
FTC Rules State that I must tell you that I have received a copy of this book from Tyndale House Publishers, I received no compensation.
