Negative Positive
Title: Great way to start communicating with your spouse.
Review: This book is Bible-based, with a distinctively Christian view of marriage. We used this book in a couples' group over 7 weeks. We found the content and fill-in-the-blank style somewhat helpful, as it guided you into thinking and discussion while allowing you to think, not telling you what to think. We allowed the book to start discussion around the table with other couples, but there were times when the discussion was private, between spouses. Especially helpful was the weekly homework, where spouses were required to meet together and work through some topic for 45 minutes. Our entire group agreed the forced time together, talking, was one of the best aspects of the experience. I recommend getting a few friends togehter and working through the book as a group--the exposure to other's ideas, finding out others have similar issues in their marriages, and the accountability of the group will help this book have it's best effect in your marriage.
