Love and War: Finding the Marriage You've Dreamed Of

Description
What the Eldredge bestsellers Wild at Heart did for men, and Captivating did for women, LOVE & WAR will do for married couples everywhere. John and Stasi Eldredge have contributed the quintessential works on Christian spirituality through the experience of men and the experience of women and now they turn their focus to the incredible dynamic between those two forces. With refreshing openness that will grab readers from the first page, the Eldredges candidly discuss their own marriage and show more the insights they’ve gained from the challenges they faced. Each talks independently to the reader about what they’ve learned, giving their guidance personal immediacy and a balance between the male and female perspectives that has been absent from all previous books on this topic. They begin LOVE & WAR with an obvious but necessary acknowledgement: Marriage is fabulously hard. They advise that the sooner we get the shame and confusion off our backs, the sooner we'll find our way through. LOVE & WAR shows couples how to fight for their love and happiness, calling men and women to step into the great adventure God has waiting for them together. Walking alongside John and Stasi Eldredge, every couple can discover how their individual journeys are growing into a story of meaning much greater than anything they could do or be on their own. show lessTags

This was an excellent book. The authors write in a style similar to Wild at Heart- a complete mixture of short personal stories, stories of friends, Biblical references, and short but powerful points. The book flows easily and is engaging. I would absolutely reccommend this to any married couple- but especially any couple who is about to be married. I remember thinking to myself "why didn't anyone warn me how hard marriage is?" and now I know- marriage is hard. It is worth it. But God has to come first.I really hope that if you are reading this you give this book a chance. I go back and forth with the authors. I loved Wild at Heart, but thought Captivating was pretty off-target. This book was excellent and will be an excellent resource show more for my husband in counseling. show less
