According to the review, I think the message in this book should be one of those core value subjects for marriage and relationship.
Nice work.

I agree with the author that a lot of relationships can be fixed if they also fix their relationship with God.
And also finances are big reason people struggle. This book seems like a great resource.

In today's culture, where couples often hide their relationship problems from one another, a Christian-based book on marriage offers a unique combination of spiritual and practical wisdom that is particularly valuable. This book provides a refreshingly honest and supportive resource for couples who seek to strengthen their bonds by addressing real marital issues through the lens of faith. Its open and authentic approach allows couples to feel less isolated in their challenges and better equipped to develop deeper, more resilient love.

I'm curious by the author's perspectives on divorce. In some cases, the only practical way to overcome them challenges is to end the marriage. Just thinking about it makes me even more terrified about the marital stuff. Thank you for your honest review. I'm sure this book will resonate many readers.

I love the fact that the author pointed to God as the solution to many marital problems, but for a union to function properly, the both parties need to work it out and this should start from period of courtship. Congratulations on BOTD.

Latest Review: Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book by Kalliope Barlis

Post by Mary Omotosho »

An intriguing book that explores the institution of marriage, backed with biblical verses.

The author examines what marriage truly is according to God's standards, rather than societal norms or trends.

The book discusses topics such as divorce, submission, and understanding and preparing for the actual marriage, not just the wedding ceremony.

It looks into aspects that have been neglected in today's society. It's my life.
The unrealistic expectations couples bring into marriage.

It looks into the aspect of finance, respecting each other as the couples have become one body, and most importantly, Understanding who your spouse who is also your companion is.

I loved the practicality of this book, it got me glued and it was a page-turner for me.

The non- fiction book explores the challenges and joys of marriage, emphasizing the need for financial communication in particular. The title itself speaks volumes as a spouse must be a friend first and always. Thanks for the great book, Ingiete Ouama!

Thank you for your wonderful review. It does sound like it has many great points to help couples. I'm glad overall you enjoyed the book. Perhaps this would have helped when I was considering getting married, but way back then I thought I knew it all. I hope it helps others to be more honest and build a strong marriage. As I'm not in a relationship, nor expect to be, this isn't a book for me.
