I Understand Where My Husband Is Coming From...

This is the book that got my husband and I back on the same page in our relationship. We had become just parents, nothing more. Although it has a Christian spin, the author doesn't try to sugar coat the dealings that go on b/t a man and a woman. He gives it to you straight. My husband said he was dead on in the section that tells the wife how the husband is feeling. But what amazed me is how on point he was about the woman's point of view. It was downright scary. Best of all, my husband "got it". Something I couldn't get accross verbally or he stopped listening to me. Whatever. Get this book if you are about to give up on your relationship and just ask you partner to read the chapters on your point of view. You will open the doors of communication. Wonderful insightful work

Hidden Keys to a Loving and Lasting Marriage

A few months ago my wife and I were having some troubles. I was at my best friends house talking about it when he handed me a book called "The Joy of Committed Love." I explained to him that no man would be caught reading a book with that title and he said..."Just open it to the flaged page showing 122 ways that men offend their wives. I read through 50 of them and put the book down...I had done all 50! I picked the book back up and read the last 72...I had done all of them as well! I borrowed the book and read it cover to cover on a business trip, and have been trying to buy my own copy since. "The Joy of Committed Love" has been reprinted as "The Hidden Keys to a Loving and Lasting Marriage." Just as soon as I type my last period I am placing an order for 3 more copies. Nothing in life is guaranteed...but this book worked for me...and now my wife and I could not be happier. If you care about your current relationship...or your next...Buy This Book!

This is an excellent resource for applying great marriage principles into marriage. These ideas are real marriage enhancers that can help anyone, whether the marriage is on the rocks or doing ok. I can agree with most theories on marriage, but this book gives actual hands-on advice that will transform your marriage
