"EXCELLENT MARRIAGE BUILDING RESOURCE" according to Jeanne Eddy. This workbook is a great tool for couples to delve into intimacy issues and deepen the bonds in their relationship. It has made a tremendously positive impact on my own marriage and that of others I know who have used the book. If your spouse is not particularly interested, you can still benefit greatly by doing the exercises yourself and it is also a wonderful resource for groups of couples who desire to work on the intimacy issues in their relationship. The format allows for both personal reflection and interpersonal interaction and includes some great ideas on how to put what you have learned into action. I highly recommend this bo. "Changes Marriages" according to R. Mcmillen. My wife and I have taken the materials from this great book and taught from it in several couples classes of 8-12 couples. We've also developed additional materials that complement the chapters in the book. The book comes at the issue of improving intimacy and communication from several different approaches. While the chapters do not necessarily fit smoothly together, in total they offer multiple options to improve your intimacy. The results for us have been dramatic. Several marriages on the rocks have improved using the skills and lessons. Everyone experiences improved communication in marriages and new hope. PS. They offer videos, . Great Book! A Customer We also were greatly blessed by the advice within this book! I feel the same way as most of the other reviews. One thing that no one has mentioned is how the philosophies in this book are life changing. So much so that you can't help but apply the philosophies in all areas of your life -not just in the marriage relationship. We found that we were not only applying them to our marriage, but that are four children have also benefitted from these scriptural philosophies as well. Great book!
