كتاب مفيد الجميل فيه الاختبارات التي توضع في بداية بعض الفصول بعض الأسئلة عميقة فعلاً وتجبرك على التصارح مع نفسك وإعادة التفكير في طريقة تقبل الأمور لأن الهدف هو رفع مستوى السعادة والاستقرار الزوجيين اللذين بتحققهما يكتسب المجتمع كله فائدة لا توصف
الكتاب أيضاً يؤكد على أهمية الجانب الروحي في الحياة والصداقة بين الزوجين وتقبل عائلتيهما ووضع الحدود في العلاقات مع الآخرين ابتداءً بالأهل وحتى زملاء العمل
أنصح بقرائته لكل المتزوجين حديثاً أو منذ سنوات طويلة
ربما كنت سأقيمه بأعلى من هذا التقييم لو أنني لم أقرأ قبله عدة كتب عن تحسين العلاقات بشكل عام والتنمية البشرية النصائح كلها مفيدة وتنطبق على كل العلاقات سواء في الغرب أو هنا بالنهاية النفس البشرية السوية متطلباتها هي نفسها أينما كانت

This book is full of very helpful advice and attitude adjustments that allow you and your partner to develop a fulfilling and happy marriage. One of the most common things that people that are thinking about getting married are told is that "Marriage isn't a 50/50 deal; it's a 100/100... that you have to put in as much effort as you can." While that's wise, it also skips over exactly how you're supposed to do that. This book is a wonderful guide to improving your relationship in very specific ways. The scenarios discussed are realistic and pointed, without getting bogged down in context and clutter.

I highly recommend this book for anyone in a relationship, whether you believe your marriage is as happy as can be, or if you are struggling. This book will give you ideas on how to communicate effectively with your spouse, and will be a wonderful guide whenever you are feeling down and hopeless.

I'm on the search to round up clues to how people develop the happiest relationships. There are some useful nuggets in here I'd recommend to anyone who wants to improve their relationship. For example, one myth this book busts is the old myth: "major differences in personality account for why some couples are unhappy together" to new finding: "Personality differences do not predict marital success or failure. It is each partner's perception and interpretation of those personality traits that make the most difference."

The book also offers suggestions to improve nurturing, attentiveness, benefit of true friendship, encouraging dreams, affection, being optimistic, supersizing intimacy, having "wow" sex, finding a sacred purpose, boosting commitment, and removing obstacles that damage relationships.
