Nice review.
The author's balanced approach to discussing both the spiritual and practical aspects of marriage truly makes this book stand out.

Igwe Ifeanyi wrote: 07 Aug 2024, 01:54 An apt and comprehensive review. I appreciated the author's candid and practical approach to exploring the complexities of marriage in 'My Spouse My Friend'. Ingiete Oyama shares valuable insights and personal anecdotes that make the book relatable and engaging. While I found some chapters to be repetitive and meandering, the book's strengths lie in its honest discussion of sensitive topics like finances, sensuality, and the importance of self-awareness in relationships. The author's commitment to presenting God as the foundation of a successful marriage is refreshing and thought-provoking. Overall, a worthwhile read for couples at any stage of their journey together.
Ingiete Oyama's personal anecdotes truly add a relatable and engaging element to the book. The repetition in some chapters can be a bit distracting, but as you mentioned, the honest discussion of sensitive topics and the emphasis on self-awareness and finances are definitely the book's strong points.

I believe this book will go a long way in helping married couples cope especially in this generation where marriage is taken so lightly.
Couples of our time have a lot to learn and from the looks of it I have no doubt that the author of my spouse my friend have the answers to challenges married couples face.

I like that this book portrays marriage in a positive light. I like that it recognizes as an institution ordained by God. I like the fact that it discusses pervasions that may arise which will help the reader be vigilant. Thanks for the review.

The biggest takeaway from the book which is, that this book can be used as a handbook for a successful marriage has been well-thought-out and beautifully strewn with words. Both married couples and those enjoying courtship can understand the key points that help create and sustain a marriage. Also, the fact that the author has briefly discussed the key points like finances that can make or break a marriage is praiseworthy. The reviewer, however, hasn't shied away from pointing out the repetitions in the book which make the reading a bit bulky and cumbersome. Overall, the book has been written with a lot of consideration and minute details that affect marriage in daily life. It can act as a savior for quite many couples who are wrestling with these issues in their marriage on an everyday basis without realizing the root cause of the problem. I genuinely appreciate the effort as a reader.

Many religious perspectives view marriage as a sacred assignment bestowed by God. It's a gift from God to humanity. It is a lovely manual that has a wealth of information about the difficult obstacles that couples encounter, their responsibilities to friends and family, marriage and its responsibilities, and the importance of money in a healthy relationship.

I appreciate how the author related some of the relationship's issues to God as the answer and offered her own experiences and tales. This book, in my opinion, is essential reading for any couple hoping to repair their relationship or get engaged to be married. The author does deserve a huge applause. :tiphat:

You've done an excellent job of distilling the key points of the book into a clear and concise review. It is especially admirable that there is an emphasis on practical application since it gives readers concrete suggestions for improving their relationships.
