This book is amazing. It is a real eye opener. I was contemplating going for marriage councelling, but now have hope we can fix this marriage using the tools in this book. The Lord is amazing and has gifted Gary Smalley with a wonderful talent.

Wow! This is a truly insightful book. I read the first twelve chapters and thought to myself "O.K....there are some good ideas and strategies for improving my marriage." But then when I got to the last two chapters, they hit my like a brick wall! I don't feel qualified to summarize Mr. Smalley's message, but I can say it completely opened my eyes to some very wrong thought processes. It made me completely reevaluate my marriage relationship and my personal relationship with God for the better!
