This book offers sound advice for a Christian married couple, as most of the advice are rooted in the Bible. Because of this, a lot of it is nothing new. One of the more memorable topics that I found useful was the chapter on Conflict/Anger management, and that the age old adage “Don’t go to bed angry,” was actually based on scripture (Ephesians chapter 4). The book was quite thorough in that there were also separate chapters on dealing with in laws, money, and even sex, among others. It’s a short and useful guide, and worth a revisit in the future when me and my husband are past our honeymoon stage.

I adore [b:The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate|567795|The Five Love Languages How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate|Gary Chapman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1369401342l/567795._SY75_.jpg|832090] by this author, so I was pleased to see this title of his available on Hoopla as part of their "bonus borrows" during these crazy times. I already want to reread this book because it is chock full of practical, biblical marriage advice. I appreciate the structure that encourages reading along with your spouse and have already recommended this book to my husband. Chapman presents concepts in an accessible way, backing them up by citing the Bible. He then challenges the reader to self-reflect alone, and then discuss their feelings about the topics covered with their spouse.

When your marriage starts off well and after a while begins to hit a bump or two, this book might help get it back on smoother roads. If your marriage is fraught with discord from the beginning, there isn't any book that is going to help.
So don't expect this book or any other to be a panacea for marital woes - it won't. If you want some help with better ways to communicate with your spouse, you might find some tips in these pages.

The chapter on decision making is the best I have ever read on the tricky subject of submission. Submission is often misunderstood and this chapter does and excellent job of explaining it properly. This is a great manual to begin discussion and provides quick looks into various aspects of marriage.
