Customer Reviews

Actually, very, very good

I bought this book not realizing that the author is a Serious Christian. It does contain a certain number of "Well, Jesus said to do this..." type references. But if you blip past the religious references, what you have is a very, very good book on communication in a relationship. I can't compare it against a host of other books, because I haven't read many on this subject. But the author is excellent at exploring and exposing our barriers to communication, and how we can delude ourselves that we are somehow "protecting" our spouse by not telling them things. This book permanently changed my view of communications in a committed relationship, and even of communications other than in a relationship. It came too late to help my first marriage, but it will be a very, very important help to my second.
