I thought this was an excellent and useful book. I would have given it 5 stars except for a couple of points that I disagree with. I'm going to talk about those points below, but I want the main point of the review to be: this is a good and helpful book! It really gives one hope for marriages to be sources of joy and happiness.
Now for the disagreements. Because he is a strict Christian he agrees with the idea that the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the c...more

This is a must read for newly married couples, or for any married couple in a good or bad marriage. ***Both partners should read the book together, as a couple.***** Now....the reason I can't give it more stars is because it does get wordy at times, and some of the chapters are too long. I have yet to get through this book. Sometimes, it seems like he already said the same exact thing in a previous chapter, but in just a slightly different way. I feel like the book could have been more compre...more

Harvest Christian Fellowship Share and Prayer Class
I read this book for my Prayer and Share class at church. It covers many of the different aspects of marriage: spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental and how each one is a very important aspect to marriage. He also goes over the five different types of love in the Greek: Epithumia (strong desire), eros (romantic, passionatate, and sentimental), storge (love shared by parents and children or brothers and sisters) phileo (companionship, closeness, tender affection) and agape (unselfish love th...more
There is a lot of good information in this book on how to really love your spouse and therefore improve your marriage. It's so much easier to read about/talk about agape love than it is to actually to put into practice! I was really challenged to love my husband without expecting the same treatment in return. I love the idea that every day is a new one, and that my marriage can always be improved.
I'm not sure why this book caught my attention among all the other delicious things on the church library shelf. After all, I think Jeremy and I have a pretty good marriage. This book confirmed that for me, but it also reminded me that there are still things that I can and should do to be an even better wife. It also gave me a lot of good insight into how to help others whose marriages might not be so great. If you know anyone who is fighting to save his or her marriage, this is the book she/he ...more
We got these during our engagement and they were such a great resource that I bought copies of them for several of my also newly engaged friends. We chose them after a little research of so many other marriage resource books.
Love Life for Every Married Couple by Ed Wheat (1997)
My wife and I are reading this book together as part of a marriage group we joined. It was amazing, I can truly say that this marriage group and the text we read saved our marriage.
Whether you're reading it alone or with your partner it is a great book. Gives lots of biblical examples for how to treat your partner and work out issues. It really rekindled the romance in our marriage. Just an incredible book.

I recommend this book to all the married people I know. If you are hurting you need to read this book. If you don't like your husband or wife you need to read this book. If you never loved you husband or wife to begin with, you need to read this book. If you are happily married, you need to read this book. You will be encouraged and spurred on no matter where you find yourself.
Wheat helps you to improve your marriage through sharing, touching, appreciating, and focus healing attention on your mate. He answers physical, psychological, and stress related questions in a Christian context. He helps demonstrate how to bring your feelings of love back to life. I really enjoyed this book

My husband & I are reading this book together - one chapter a week. I highly recommend married couples read this book - perhaps every year! This book helps you stick together - what God has joined together, let nothing separate.
This is the best, most complete, thoughtful and Biblically-based marriage book we have read. In waiting to discuss it with Josh, I read several of the chapters twice and think I would benefit in continuing to do so!

Includes a beautiful retelling of Hosea & Gomer's love story.
