[Fayana · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must read! Gain wisdom on protecting & blessing your relationship/ friendship/ marriage for a lifetime. So far this book hugs me & makes me smile.

[Sarah Messenger · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wanted to give this book 5 stars. It has a lot of helpful insights and Stormie comes off as using a very sympathetic tone. The strength of the prayer focus is the best part of the book.

However, where it falls apart for me is her frequent misuse of Scripture. Sometimes, the references she's using don't seem to have any correlation with the point she's trying to make. There are a few minor errors such as saying that finding someone other than your spouse attractive is a sin.

It's a good book for those who have enough scriptural knowledge to be able to weed out pitfalls.

Great book. Very practical and helpful book if you and your spouse want to improve your marriage.
