Title: Best marriage book I have read.
Review: My husband and I have read several marriage books and we do pre-marital counseling with engaged couples in our congregation. As a Christian woman, this is the best marriage book I have read. In many of the marriage books I have read, I have sensed a tone of condescension towards women. Not that I still didn't get a lot out of those books, but some of the ideas about women were very traditional and some of the expectations on women were extremely conservative and stereotypical. In As For Me and My House, Wangerin, respects woman and his treatment of both men and woman are fair, taking into consideration that not all women and men are the same. His chapters on forgiveness are excellent combining an intelligent blend of a high view of scripture and psychology. He also writes well and the book is an enjoyable read.
