- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was written by Erin Smalley who works as the Marriage Spokesperson with Focus on the Family. I had never read anything by her previously and so I did not know what to expect when it came to this book, but both the title and description drew me in.
I have not been married very long and have only read about half a dozen Christian Marriage books which is not many considering the vast number that are out there today. Each book that I have read takes a different approach. Some focus on the theology of marriage and some focus more on the practice side of marriage. Some talk about the ways that men and women are different and others focus on tips to make your marriage better. I feel that this book is a great mixture of all of these aspects. While it is not theologically deep, Smalley does use Scripture to back up each of her points. She also provides a great mix of examples, statistics and practical tips to help you accomplish the task or point she is making.
There were several different things I enjoyed about this book. I appreciated the structure of each chapter. She would make her point providing real life examples, thoughts and statistics and then draw the reader into thinking practically towards the end of each chapter. Every chapter ended with reflection questions and a sample prayer for both the wife to pray for herself and then a prayer to pray over her husband.
One of the minor things that bothered me, which may not bother anyone else is that she used so many different translations of Scripture throughout the text. For me it would be easier to follow up and read a passage if it was only in one translation. I also don't feel that this is a scenario where multiple translations are necessarily beneficial.
Overall, I would recommend this book. It is a book that I learned from and would consider doing with a group of girls or friend as a book study.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for my review.
