With God, It's Never Too Late to Improve Your Marriage Dear Reader, Many people enter into a marriage because they're expecting the other person to do something for them, to give them something, to "Make me happy." But we need to look at marriage from the standpoint of giving, not getting. When each partner fully gives him- or herself over to thinking of the other, "What can I do for you?" each will receive everything desired-and more besides. The Bible says, "... It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35 KJV). And about marriage: "Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things... " (Hebrews 13:4 AMP). A good marriage does not just happen, no matter how wildly in love you were when you got married. You have to be creative. Learn what the Word says and practice it. There's nothing better than a really great marriage, and nothing worse than a bad one. Discover how to grow blessings and happiness in your marriage. Do this and you'll bring great victories into your home-greater than you could ever imagine. Joyce Meyer.

More autobiographical than the self-help I was expecting, but entertaining all the same. I've always enjoyed the author as a speaker more than a writer, but her writing is more compelling when it is in regards to her own history and background. I'm sure it didn't hurt that I could hear her voice narrating in my head as I read. ^_^
Part autobiographical, part theological, Joyce Meyer's book offers insight into how to create a better marriage by using as examples her failings and mishaps in her own marriage. It's a good self-help book for those who really do take the vows an concept of marriage seriously.
The main thing is communication and understanding of the partner's point of view. Meyer conveys those ideas well with her examples. Some of the writing is a tad over the top and takes on a feel of listening to one of her shows, rather than reading a book, as if she just transcribed one of her speeches for a chapter or two (or three, or four). But for the most part, this is an information book that enlightens couples on how to create a better marriage and that's a good thing.
This book was to find out pointers for my sister's new marriage. I had to hear it from Joyce's perspective and the Bible standards. I really enjoyed it and read some of it to my sister to help her. Also, I read "Five Languages of Love", this book really helped her where she could not sleep to finish the questions to find out where she and her husband stood to make the relationship better.
In spite of her huge ministry, I am not a fan. This is my first book by Joyce Meyer and I did not like her somewhat arrongent style or her theology. There were some good tips on strengthening marriage.
Hilarious and OH! so helpful.we are so much alike.And it feels good to know we are just human and all make the same dumb mistakes.I suggest for anyone whose married or about to be.Awesome book!!!
I bought this book back when it was called something else... or maybe it's known by another title now. Either way, at the time I thought it was a good book.
Had this book with me quite long but its only of late that I started reading it. It's was so helpful for me especially last few chapters "Is there a nice way to say it" "You need what? " ...
I absolutely love Joyce Meyers and enjoy how spending time with her via TV or print she has a unique way of "talking to you" as if she is your best friend and you are sitting over coffee having a chat, laughing, relating and above all always learning. A very enjoyable, informative, easy read.
