Originally I gave this title 4 stars. I am revising my stars to zero.
The reason I am doing so is that since reading this title, several things about my faith journey and expression have changed and I no longer subscribe to evangelical ideologies.
Additionally, this book encourages a patriarchal culture and I do not stand by that.
My husband and I went through this book as part of the pre-marital program offered at our church. This book is full of worksheets that can be time consuming, but are well worth the time invested.
We had friends that did not have very well rounded pre-marital programs in their area. We strongly recommend going through this book.
Also, the cover listed on this page does not match ours. Ours had a brown and gold cover with tear out pages.
We went through this while we were engaged. Lots of good get-to-know-you questions and things to talk through, along with various assignments. Lots of looking up verses and worksheets. It was valuable for us.
