This is probably the best marriage book I've read to date. The premise is any issue or problem you have with your spouse is just a way for God to work in YOUR life. Sometimes a tough pill to swallow, but very true.

I like books that are down to the point Scripture. This was a decent book. Not the greatest but decent. A bit fluffy!
