I loved everything about this book. From the questions you are to answer with your spouse to the proverbs and scripture. It was very eye opening in regards to how immaturity leads to instability and the importance of healthy communication. As an upcoming practicing therapist, this is a helpful resource I plan to use w/ couples.
