Read in 24 hours. The fact that Hughes was a marriage counsellor for years means the book is practical advice and true stories, as well as biblical reasoning. He isn’t afraid to explore subjects such as sex and infidelity and divorce; handling them with honesty and sensitivity.

This isn’t a prissy or Bible- only book on marriage. I’ll definitely be re reading.

I read this book years back and I gave it to someone who never returned it. I want to read again.

An occasional pearl in this book, but very conservative and masculine-oriented. Some things I strongly disagree (like the advice to not tell your spouse you've cheated on them). Would not recommend for engaged couple; more focused on those that have problems in their marriage. Writing style odd. Can tell he's sincere but not my cup of tea.

My husband and I were given this years ago, before we got married. I thought it was excellent at the time. When I wanted to give two young couples a copy I read the updated version to see if it still held good today! It does! An excellent book for engaged couples. Should be required reading.

loved it, I got it from a friend and it changed my perception on marriage and how to relate it to God.
