A Boost for the Start of Your Marriage

I have used this title by James Dobson numerous times as a premarital recommendation for young couples looking to get a good start on their marriage. Dr. Dobson does a great job of covering all the bases for a solid Christian marriage. It is readable, believable and attractively presented by the publisher. It is the type of book a young couple serious about their marriage can have as a keepsake and reference book as they progress in their early years of marriage. 5 stars in my book.

Time doesn't change God's design...

After reading other reviews of this book I feel compelled to add my two cents. Some say this book presents women in a cowardly and foolish light and that the principals contained in it are outdated; that Dr. Dobson needs to enter the 21st century. However, time doesn't change God's design and plan for males and females. He did, in fact, make us different and no liberal social agenda can change that. What Dobson has to say IS still relevant today and IS valuable to both Christians and non-Christians that are considering marriage. I would highly recommend it as reading prior to the big day.

This is the one marriage book everyone should read!

I learned more about building and maintaining a happy marriage from this book than from all the other marriage books I've read combined, and I've read them all. This book is funny, easy to read, and filled with practical, solid christian advise. Dr. Dobson explains the differences between men and women and teaches basic lessons on communications and co-habitation that every married couple should know. I routinely give this book as gifts to newlywed and engaged couples. I've bought myself several copies because I keep giving them away to friends who have troubled marriages. I pray that God will bless your marriage as you read this book.

Love should be for a Lifetime

I am familiar with Dr. Dobson and have a chance to hear him on Focus on the Family each evening on my local radio station. His book, Love for a Lifetime, is a wonderful read and clearly highlights aspects that a pre-marriage couple, newly married couple or any couple needing to direct their focus on the foundation of their relationship. I plan on using his book as wedding gifts for friends that are planning on taking a leap of faith as husbands and wives. Thank you Dr. Dobson for sage and practical advise.

Valuable Family Resource - Bravo Dr. Dobson!

A MUST-HAVE BOOK for parents attempting to instill Christian moral values in their dating (and pre-dating) teens. Makes a great gift - I gave it to my 15 year old last Christmas. It's also a valuable resource for those who have failed at relationships in the past, it was a real eye-opener for me. Dr. Dobson writes this book in such a loving and light manner that I felt like my Dad was talking to me and I just wanted to hug him as I finished each chapter. Thanks Dr. Dobson for another great book
