Concise yet powerful

This book identifies the handles that will help to keep a relationship strong or restore a broken marriage. I highly recommend the $3 investment for this book.

Beware, this is a”Christian “ book. Wolf.

I dislike misleading titles. This is a preaching Christian book about marriage. I just think religious books should define themselves as such. I absolutely do not recommend this book.

I didn’t think I could listen to this

The reader is awful😣
Sorry, I really am... I want to listen to this book very much.
The readers voice is PAINFULLY monotone...
I am honestly amazed that this was released with this poor fella as the reader.
I wish Doug would read his own books.
I did really enjoy the fiction about the teacher & preacher... her voice was perfect for the story.
The value of the book made the task of listening to it completely worth it.

Great!

Should be a mandatory read for anybody who is going to get married or wants to get married. Any husband or wide that is having problems in marriage should read this book along with other books written by Douglas Wilson in regards to marriage.

The Premarital Counseling We Never Had

The title of this review is a bit facetious, yet on a serious note, if these principles are applied at the beginning, there will be no accumulated clutter. Pastor Wilson is the favorite for my wife and I when it comes to marriage, the family, and Covenantal Theology in general. The reading was consistent and clear. A perfect book to listen to together with your spouse instead of the television.

Short Book: Golden Principles

Have you ever wondered what it meant when Jesus told us "If you forgive people their wrongdoing, your heavenly Father will forgive you as well. But if you don't forgive people, your Father will not forgive your wrongdoing"? (Matthew 6:14-15 HCSB)

In this book, Pastor Doug Wilson hit me right between the eyes as he spelled out what obedience to Christ looks like in marriage for both the husband and the wife. This is not a self-help book; instead it is an extended discussion of "This is how the bible tells you to treat other people: get busy doing it in your marriage first and foremost." Get this book: it is worth every penny.

Excellent book

this is an excellent book on short practical steps to make a marriage strengthened. I would suggest it.

sound biblical practical advice.

thanks for the excellent teaching. i benefitted greatly from this audio book and look forward to going through this with my whole family. emphasis on humility and not keeping records of wrongs was spot on.

Wonderful!!

Loved it! Very short, but straight to the point. I very much needed to hear this!

Powerful truths, but...

The content of the book is piercing. I’m certain I’ll be referring to these truths for quite awhile. However, I think the reader’s style and expression (or rather lack of), steals from the message itself. Nonetheless, I will still be
recommending the book (yes, even in the audible version).
