Religious Book

I didn’t realize how much bible reading was going to be involved. 50% content involves bible references & bible reading

Valuable book for any who want to better their marriage

Some very solid points and excellent tidbits that aren't typically covered in marriage books. An inspiring and encouraging book that is easily applicable and very readable.

Perfect for even engaged men

This book taught me so much within such a short period of time. Thank you for mentoring me on how to love my fiancé in order for us to have a successful and blessed marriage

Exactly what I needed.

This was exactly what I needed. A young husband who wants to be a great husband, is exactly who should read this.

A couple of nuggets, but mostly dated

Wanted to like it
Tried to like it
Kept trying to like it
Never quite got there

I did finish the book eventually, but it feels like it was written for the 60+ crowd....in the 70s. As a guy just breaking 40 in 2019 it just didn't cut it for me. Well intentioned, it just felt more like a book for grandpas and older, not anyone younger, at least not as a whole. Like my title said, a couple good nuggets, but hardly anything I wasn't aware of before. And the reading style reminded me of the grandpa (Peter Falk) in Princess Bride. Very congenial, but not for adults....unless you already have a xhildhood soft spot for him.

The takeaway: so many little things that I can do.

Great book.
A must for any husband! I look forward to implementing as many of these as I can... Because she deserves it.

NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING!

I'm a husband using my wife's account to buy books, and this was my best choice out of the list. Thank you for sharing this with the world. Many of us have absolutely NO IDEA what we're doing in our marriages. So thanks to your book, we'll be better at being husbands!!! Thank you!!!

Surprisingly Helpful

I had average expectations for this book. The author was also a good speaker. But the thing that surprised me most was how helpful and useful the content was. I expected much of it to be things that I already knew, but there were a lot of eye opening topics with examples to back it up. I would strongly recommend all men get a copy of this audiobook.
