Though unmarried, I think this is one of the best books on marriage particularly because it is based upon a Biblical Theology which many books on marriage omit.
There is the theme of and the recognition of the Fall, Promise, Redemption and Restoration throughout the book. The Book essentially is how to live the Christian Life as a married couple as they both look forward to the restoration namely the New Heaven and New Earth. Many singles do not have this Biblical Theology in mind when they ente Though unmarried, I think this is one of the best books on marriage particularly because it is based upon a Biblical Theology which many books on marriage omit.
Many singles do not have this Biblical Theology in mind when they enter relationships. This is a great book to prepare them for marriage. Jan 29, Erika Stuart rated it it was amazing.
Highly recommend! View 2 comments. Allender and Longman describe life as a spiritual battle, and they encourage couples to see their marriage as a tool to fight that battle. That tool is properly maintained when couples honestly examine the identity, expectations, commitment, communication and sin within their marriage. It's a good message, and it is well illustrated by hypothetical case studies illustrating each point. Unfortunately, the message is also easily lost in the delivery.
In an attempt to thoroughly explain their ideas, Allender and Longman describe life as a spiritual battle, and they encourage couples to see their marriage as a tool to fight that battle.
In an attempt to thoroughly explain their ideas, the writers resort to repetition, resulting in confusing redundancy and making for a very slow read. Some proper editing could have cut this book in half without losing any of the main ideas. It's unfortunate when a book stands in its own way to delivering a decent message.
Jan 03, Shaun rated it it was amazing. Finally finished this one. Was it good? It would quickly put me -- a family law lawyer -- out of business if this book was read and heeded by ALL.
And, frankly, that would not be a bad development in this ol' pirate's eyes. Rock on , me hardies! May 26, Joe Cox rated it it was amazing Shelves: joestopshelf. Yep, 5 stars. So many of the theological and philosophical pieces about marriage are woven into this book.
Those pieces also pressed me to wonder about other areas of marriage which this books responds too. The authors bookend each section with relatable case studies which make it a practical read.
I would recommend the content of this book as essential to premarital and marriage counseling and discipleship. Mar 21, Evan Hoekzema rated it liked it.
Sep 28, Tyler Thomas Pages of Light rated it it was amazing. Exceptional book for any couples who engaged or already married. I also think this would be great for single people to help you understand God's design for marriage and how our relationship with our spouse is an echo of God's relationship with the church. Sep 26, Amy Webb rated it it was amazing. I wanted to give up on this book several times but I am glad I powered through.
Some stuff I had heard before but also provided a unique perspective on marriage in this book. Mar 03, Brooke West rated it it was amazing.
