Hedges: Loving Your Marriage Enough to Protect It
by Tim LaHaye, Jerry B. Jenkins
My wife and I attempt to regularly read books on marriage. Some are better than others. However, all of the books on marriage that I have read over the years have always encouraged and helped me in my marriage. Professionals in all trades of life pursue a lifelong quest of learning and growing in their trade. Why do most married couples not continue in their learning and growing in this all important relationship of marriage??
I liked the frankness in which Jerry Jenkins writes this book. He was humble enough to share some of the different weaknesses he has faced over the years. Most authors on this topic will not delve into their own life or weaknesses.
The author's basic premise of the book is not to fight lust or inappropriate relationships. Over and over again, he quotes the Apostle Paul's admonition to Timothy to "Flee fornication." In other words, run from the scene! Run from the temptation! Run from any situation which might start you on the slippery slope to adultery or fornication!
And in fleeing these temptations, the author suggests that we plant different hedges to protect that most important of relationships. I like that the author gives the hedges that he has implemented in his life; however, he also makes it very clear that his hedges might not be the hedges the reader needs to implement. Every person is different!
Included in this book is a DVD featuring a condensed message based on this book that the author gave at a church. This would be excellent to watch with your spouse!
